Hi,

I'm disowning sage-mathematics, sage-mathematics-spkgs(optdepends for
sage-mathematics), fityk, and xylib(dependency for fityk).

I will move them to the aur in a week if no TU adopts them in community.

If you plan on adopting sage-mathematics, you should know that it is
currently unbuildable on archlinux, and some other newer distros due
to how it is built.
It is currently out of date, and you wont be able to update it without
fixing this.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10572 (13 month old bug
without recent comments)
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11391 (9 month old bug I
filed without a sign of activity)

If you plan on adopting fityk, note that it needs a development
version of wxwidgets which I statically build in the same PKGBUILD.

Cheers.
