Someone please remove Rensel's E17 packages from Community

These packages are all outdated, unmaintained, and interfere with the use of others' E17 repos. Could someone please remove the binary packages for them, so that it's possible to use E17 and the Community repo at the same time? Thanks...

If we can be certain that rensel is no longer interested, then we can do something about it. Until then, you can avoid the conflicts by placing your preferred E17 repo before Community in /etc/pacman.conf.

That doesn't work due to different package names - for example, edb-devel and edb-cvs.

If the package names are different, how do they interfere with each other?

They're in groups of the same name. Thus, you get things like:

Error: edb-cvs conflicts with edb-devel.

OK - that's a problem alright. I'll see what I can do.
