Actually, cancel this request.  I just heard back from the author and
he is now hosting the project on his own [1].  Thanks all for
attempting to research what happened.

[aur-general] Please delete masterm package

Apparently masterm fell off the face of the Earth - sourceforge page
no longer exists and Google searches produce nothing.  Would someone
be so kind as to remove masterm [0] for me?

[aur-general] Please delete kicad-svn

[Marq Schneider]

Kicad recently switched from subversion to bazaar and thus i have
created a new package kicad-bzr to replace kicad-svn .  Would someone
be so kind as to remove kicad-svn [0] for me?

[aur-general] Deletion Request: calibre-ng

[Marq Schneider]

To whom it may concern,

While browsing AUR, i noticed that the maintainer of the 'calibre-ng'
package had requested its deletion within the package's comments [0].  Could
one with the capabilities to do so, please delete this package?

Thank you,
Marq

One option is to create a shell script named something like 'jpd' with contents:
#!/bin/bash
java -jar /usr/share/java/jpartialdownloader/jpd.jar $@

and copy that into /usr/bin/ in the PKGBUILD.

Sometimes you have to do things yourself.

By the way, you might want to look into using 'java-environment' or
'java-runtime' for your depends instead of 'openjdk6'.  I'm not sure
which is correct.
