Anyone using libhilbert?

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Guix,
Eric,

The sources[0] for our[1] libhilbert package have been missing from the
Web for a while. At least since March[2].

It's not the easiest package or author to track down, and I lost
interest after a while since I'm not really familiar with either.

Is anyone still using this (leaf) package? Does anyone have a back-up
copy of the sources in their store, in case someone is?

Kind regards,

T G-R

I think this is the author's new web page:
   https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/hamilton/

I just tracked it down for the fun of it, and am not interested in
the package myself.

Hm, or probably not. The relationship between volcanoes and Hilbert curves is
maybe a bit too far-fetched, whereas there may have been several people of this
name (or last name plus initial) at Dalhousie over the last few years...

I packaged it originally intending to use it as an input for our deal.II package, but never got a chance to make it happen.

I'll try to figure out what upstream packages are doing given the disappearance of the source.  Someone probably has a copy floating around.
