adding arora to extra?
 

Hi folks,

I would like to add the arora web browser to our extra repo. Its a small
(<1MB) browser which uses WebKit: http://www.arora-browser.org

There is a git version in aur/community with 166 votes. I would add the stable
version (0.5); which seems to be newer than the version in community btw. If
the maintainer wants to keep that development snapshot in community that's no
problem imho.

It benefits a lot from Qt 4.5 and would be an alternative to Midori which uses
GTK.

Seems like a good idea to me - I was thinking of trying this out, too :)

I'll put it into testing. If all went wrong I can remove it again then. :-)

Nice, I had an email in my drafts for the exact same request :)

I'm the author and maintainer of the -git PKGBUILD.
It had sense a looong time ago, before 0.2.
I'll put it in AUR, where it belongs, as soon as a release is
available in extra.

Ah nice. Feel free to update the package in extra/testing everytime you like.
It's not that I wanted to steal you package. ;-)
