Re: Scientific Repository?

Here is my take on this:

The best way to get a [scientific] repo up is to stop talking about it and just set it up (as a 3.rd party repo) instead. That is the most efficient way to get something done. If it turns out to be a sucsess then it might even turn out to become a official repo. After all, that is how the x86_64 fork of arch started

I think, AUR is way better for these (special) purposes. At least, that's what I always ended up using. If I install something on a production workstation, I would only use [core] + [extra] + self-compiled stuff, because of stability or maybe because I'm a little paranoidal
