Packages I'm no longer interested in: |
2 |
|
3 |
media-gfx/fotoxx |
4 |
sci-libs/arprec |
5 |
sci-libs/mathgl |
6 |
sci-libs/qd |
7 |
sci-mathematics/genius |
8 |
sci-mathematics/gsl-shell |
9 |
sci-mathematics/mathmod |
10 |
sci-mathematics/reduce |
11 |
|
12 |
fotoxx is now maintainer-needed. If anybody is interested, welcome. The |
13 |
upstream releases very often, a bump is needed. |
14 |
|
15 |
All the other packages are now maintained by sci or sci-mathematics |
16 |
projects. If anybody is interested, please add yoursels as a maintainer. |
17 |
Maybe, gsl-shell and mathmod can be last-rited if nowbody takes them - I |
18 |
experimented with them a little but did not find them useful. |

reduce is a very old version, hard-masked, non-working. reduce is a |
21 |
powerful and efficient CAS comparable with maxima. I use it quite often, |
22 |
but I compile new versions by hand, outside portage. The build system is |
23 |
terrible. If somebody could bump it to a modern version (an essential |
24 |
rewrite of the ebuild is needed), it would be excellent. Otherwise, we'll |
25 |
have to remove it :-( |
26 |
|
27 |
One more appeal to the community. wxmaxima is used by many maxima users. I |
28 |
was not its formal maintainer, but in the past I did much work bumping it. |
29 |
The version in the tree is old (though working). The bump is urgently |
30 |
needed. The upstream has switched to cmake, and a nearly complete rewrite |
31 |
of the ebuild is needed. |
