Hello, I wrote the first PKGBUILDs for the englab packages mentioned in http://pastebin.com/GVPYcvLC. I handed them over to the maintainer Verminoz because he was (is?) in contact with the upstream project. The project has its own pacman-repositories (e.g. http://englab.bugfest.net/arch/x86_64/) for the englab packages. The PKGBUILDS are also available from their sourceforge project file area. I am quite sure that englab-cimg and englab-plot can be removed (older duplicates of libenglab-cimg resp.libenglab-plot). The documentation (package englab-doc) maybe should be removed, because it is only one file and can be downloaded from sourceforge easily. Not sure about the other plugins, which do not have a counterpart with prefix "lib" (englab-matrix, englab-special-functions). Are they still valid? Have they been replaced? Hope this clarifies some issues. Stefan
