[aur-general] Remove `emacs-ocaml-mode`
While `emacs-ocaml-mode` [*] is part of the OCaml distribution it's not included in the `ocaml` package (for reasons unknown) and can only be installed from AUR. So, why remove? * orphaned package; unsupported for more than a year * can be installed from Marmalade repository via `package.el` [1] * can be installed via `el-get` [2] * everybody's using `tuareg-mode` [3] anyway :) So, what do you guys think? --Sergei [*] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11629 [1] http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/caml [2] https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/blob/master/recipes/caml-mode.rcp [3] https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/tuareg/

+1 for the last reason, the tuareg-mode is much better (and of course, available in the AUR [1]) Additionally, the 'emacs-ocaml-mode' PKGBUILD has to download the whole OCaml sources just to install a single .el file... Either include it in the official 'ocaml' package in [extra], either don't use it at all. The first solution would not be worth it (since nobody would be using it) and it could conflicts with the tuareg-mode. So, +1 for deletion. It's out-of-date and orphaned anyway.
