Hi,

I was maintaining these packages:

dolfin ffc fiat instant ufc ufl viper

Please would a TU delete them and transfer the votes to the *-bzr versions that I have replaced them with.

I orphaned the packages over a week ago and gave one week's notice in a comment on each page that they would be removed. I also announced the removal/migration on the dolfin mailing list.

(The instant package migrated to instan-bzr because the source package name was too long to call it instant-bzr.)

Thanks,

Myles

Hi Myles, thanks for reporting this, but probably merging here is not a good idea. Your *-bzr provides a vcs version of the software. Having stable releases too is not a problem. You mentioned there are some issues with building the stable release of dolfin, well probably someone else could take care of them and fix em. Having a quick look at your pastebin (in a dolfin comment), seems like it is a gcc 4.7 issue. Btw, rapidly searching I've got confirmation and found this to be already reported and solved yet on the dolfin BTS [1]. Here is the commit patch that solves the issue [2]. Now, your choice. If you mind, you may re-adopt those packages by applying the patch. Otherwise, just do not care about em.
