I'd like to see Luckybackup in the community repo! ...

Marginally off-topic, but you might also want to take a look at unison, which is already in [community]. It is an already established tool for N-way syncing also based on rsync. I don't know how it is compared to luckybackup though since I haven't used luckybackup. But unison is a very nice piece of s/w.

xmlstarlet Manipulating xml files with normal unix tools (sed,grep, awk,etc) is very hard, among other things, xml don't enforce the use of newline at certain point. xmlstarlet is a utility that (among other things) can convert from xml to pyx (and from pyx to xml).
pyx is a format compatible with standard unix text manipulation utils, and therefore isreally useful at creating scripts that manipulate xml files.
Right now it is on AUR, and I think it deserves being part of comunity

Since I just bought a mp3 album from amazon, I think it would be really nice to have:

clamz

Basically it's a opensource replacement for the amazon mp3 downloader. Amazon gives you a amz file and you pass it to clamz to download the actual mp3s
I think It totally fits in the Arch philosophy and it comes with some very handy options:

Usage: clamz [options] amz-file ...
General options:
 -o, --output=NAME:       write output to file NAME (may contain
                          variables, see below)
 -d, --output-dir=DIR:    write output to directory DIR (may also
                          contain variables)
 -r, --resume:            resume a partial download
 -i, --info:              show info about AMZ-files; do not download
                          any tracks
 -x, --xml:               output XML data from AMZ-files; do not download
                          any tracks
 -v, --verbose:           display detailed information
 -q, --quiet:             don't display non-critical messages
 --help:                  display this help
 --version:               display program version

Output options:
 --allow-chars=CHARS:     allow filenames containing CHARS
 --forbid-chars=CHARS:    forbid filenames containing CHARS
 --allow-uppercase:       allow uppercase letters in filenames
 --forbid-uppercase:      forbid uppercase letters in filenames
 --utf8-filenames:        allow UTF-8 filenames
 --ascii-filenames:       force ASCII-only filenames

Filenames (-o, -d) may contain the following variables:
 ${title} ${creator} ${album} ${tracknum} ${album_artist} ${genre}
 ${discnum} ${suffix} ${asin} ${album_asin}

DeaDBeeF

If there were ever a niche that needed filling... DeaDBeeF fills that space nicely.

I agree with broadcom-wl if licensing permits. It's the only driver that's stable for my laptop.

Is included in the kernel from .37 onwards.

Damn! That's how good Arch is... using its mind control powers to mod the kernel!

ranger ++
small, fast, decent file manager. only depend on python

+1 for ranger.
really the best file manager i've used. the most impressing thing is out of box support for so many applications & also there are a great no. of features that someone wouldn't expect in a terminal program.

even an image preview is present.

yvonney · 2010-12-21 06:28:57

ranger: obviously -- changed my tech-life in a big way -- help system is terrific and should/could get anyone motivated to use term/console if they have an interest. // many thanks!

zathura and jumanji: brilliant implimentations of pdf reader and webkit based browser. both add elegance and confidence there's no bloat to a minimalist's system with a best of breed feeling IMO. Both are very actively developed!!

lfm (Last File Manager)
A simple but powerful file manager for the UNIX console. Based on curses, it's written in Python.
It have been developed for a long time so very stable and full of features. Definitely better than mc. Key bindings is good by default. I prefer lfm to ranger.

Same here, I will have to try it and see, though I doubt it will replace coreutils for me

vasyabelkin · 2010-12-21 19:12:57

+1 for ranger. It is really very good. The developer is very responsive, the software quality & features, built-in in the file manager, are great + it's extensible. I'm a programmer myself, and I think these are the characteristics of a way to build effective & useful program. Please, include it

Coreutils doesn't need votes.

I think QTFM should be in the repos! It is a great file manager and its developers are constantly updating it!

I was just thinking about that. I'd move it to [community], regardless of whether or not it wins here. That is, if I can get the okay from Wittfella.

max-k · 2010-12-21 22:27:01

+1 for DeaDBeeF because it's a very good minimalistic media player
And also netkit (a network simulation tool based on UML usefull to increase your skills in managing a network) because its installation from AUR is painfull and require a lot of disk space.

Thanks !!

pablokal · 2010-12-21 22:48:52

adeskbar: it is a python app launcher, superight and responsive, stable and configurable, not intrusive.
Plain quality, it is the only dock app that I tolerate.

PyTyle2 (when it's ready) - the best thing since sliced bread! Forget tiling WMs, stay with your OpenBox.

Oh and apvlv and ranger pls. And tp_smapi. Please.
