[Pardus-devel] Packages to move from Contrib to 2009

[David Stegbauer]

Hello,

I would like to see several packages to be moved from contrib to 2009.
Most of below mentioned ones are not mine, but they are valuable. I
would like to know your opinion - generally or particularly. Please
add more packages if you think they should be also moved. Paths are
relative to contrib/devel.

* applications/editors/juffed
   fast and simple text editor with highlighting (Qt4 + QScintilla), I
use it daily

* applications/editors/zile
   fast console text editor resembling emacs (ncurses), I use it daily.

* desktop/kde4/krusader-kde4
   very valuable file manager (KDE4), stable. 2009 version ready at
playground/dast/2009/desktop/misc/krusader

* desktop/kde4/k9copy-kde4
   all current KDE4 packages could go 2009, couldn't they? Has some
extra dependencies in contrib, though.

* desktop/fluxbox/*
   in my opinion there should be at least one "lightweight" window
manager in 2009. Valuable for heavy development on older machines.
Though I'd preffer the component to be renamed to desktop/lightweight
as there could come more (openbox, icewm, ...)

* applications/util/ddrescue
   your last hope to save data from failing disk

* applications/multimedia/smplayer
   very good Qt4 mplayer frontend. I know there is KMplayer, but ...

* applications/network/psi
   the only Qt4 jabber client I know which is able to connect through http proxy

* applications/network/fatrat
   nice  downloader (Qt4)

* applications/network/arora
  Qt4 webkit web browser

* applications/science/avogadro
   molecular editor, very nice. The package seems unmaintained, I'll
takeover it.

* applications/science/speedcrunch
   speecdrunch replaced kcalc in kubuntu

* applications/archive/dar
   best long-time archiver I've ever used. Incremental backups, per
file compression, encryption. Windows version available too.

Best Regards
