Not only did this take a long time to install, it has proven to be problematic, because updating even one line of code required us to repackage >700MBs of data. As of now, IRAF has been split into several smaller packages (``iraf.[pkg]``) and controlled via a single meta-package: ``iraf-all``. The new ``pyraf-all`` meta-package installs ``pyraf`` along with packages identified to require ``pyraf`` and ``iraf``.
