[aur-general] Removal request: fenics group packages
Hi, I was pursuaded[1] to keep some unworthy packages in the AUR, and the thread was inconclusive (may be my final email was too long)... To summarise the contents of that thread: for a group of related packages, the stable versions are not likely to work for anyone and the VCS versions (*-bzr) are more sensible, but someone might adopt the stable ones, so we'll keep them lying around, at the risk of confusing users who install them by mistake to satisfy dependencies or the -bzr versions. What has changed since then is that now, users are indeed confused and no one has adopted the non-bzr pacakges so please would a hard working TU transfer any votes to the -bzr versions and delete as follows: Delete Migrate votes to | dolfin | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37270 | dolfin-bzr | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58971 | | ffc | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37268 | ffc-bzr | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59137 | | fiat | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37267 | fiat-bzr | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59138 | | instant | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20880 | instant-bzr| http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59369 | | ufc | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37269 | ufc-bzr | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59139 | | ufl | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37266 | ufl-bzr | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59140 | | viper | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37328 | viper-bzr | http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59007 | Thanks, Myles

Sounds OK to me, moreover the PKGBUILDs for stable versions can be easily adapted from the -bzr PKGBUILDs. I merged all of them. Lukas
