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. |
