I received a notice when updating via yaourt today that one of my favorite and often used apps, xarchiver, has been removed from Extra and is now only being updated via AUR. With this in mind, and not wanting to continue to receive the orphan notices when updating, I reinstalled via yaourt. All's well now. :)

A note, Foresight (xfce) also removed xarchiver as default. We rebuilt file-roller not to depend on any gnome stuff and uses file-roller in xfce as default. But we keep Xarchiver around too.

Started to wonder how come you want to keep xarchiver?
Foresight | Blog | I've heard: When the RedHat developers present new packages to Linux User-Group, before the meeting is over,Foresight people will have downloaded the source, created a Foresight package, uploaded it,and it will be available for anyone to use.

Old people get used to using the same things all the time. We don't like change. I still have a floppy drive on most of my systems. ;)

I try to keep old things that still work around way past when they should be replaced.

I also have at least one system around with a floppy at any given time. Have three or four "good" drives sitting in inventory just in case I have a need for them. I might get rid of them in a few years when I'm sure they are no longer of any use to anyone. Maybe!

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984
