Packages

Scripts of Lilac Repo, including PKGBUILD, lilac.yaml and lilac.py

Aim

Current goal

• Migrate about 50 packages from aur_build to lilac.
• Expansion of the users' awareness of this repository.
• Include more popular packages for biologists.

Todo

Now sponsors are still needed to promote the net speed of this repository. The funding will be used to buy faster a VPS service and a domain name. Now the repository is hosted in 1M VPS in Shenzhen, China and the domain is malacology.net. bioarchlinux.org or bioarchlinux.net should be bought and VPS is better to locate in Hongkong, China or Singapore considering the internet block and internet downloading speed.

Or some undergraduate students can hold a National Students' Innovation Entrepreneurship Training Program in his/her university to win the funding for this project. starsareintherose can give help to the undergraduate, considering her previous national level NSIETP.
