[SOLVED] nxclient no longer in extra?

Today I found out that nxclient is no longer in extra. Is there a reason why its been removed?

Re: [SOLVED] nxclient no longer in extra?

you should follow the mailing lists where these kinds of things are discussed among the devs. They are pretty good most of the time in discussing when to move packages from one repo to another and when dropping some packages altogether. Most times they have valid reasons for doing what they are doing. At other times, the dev just doesn't want to deal with the said package (which is a valid reason in and of itself)... and when no other dev is willing to take responsibility for the said package, it gets dropped.
