Hi I agree. Is it not the same idea as the pkg-science team started by Sylvestre Ledru (package there what is not more suitable somewhere else like in DebiChem, pkg-scicomp, Debian Med, etc.)? I would suggest pkg-scicomp which seems more suite for the task. Best regards C. -- To

Honestly, I don't mind about the name of the repro and pkg-scicomp seems to have gathered much more stuff then pkg-science. So what about moving the three packages from pkg-science to pkg-scicomp close pkg-science and turn pkg-scicomp into a more structured repository featuring a policy as
