1 I've maintained the sci-libs/sympy ebuild (bug# 192785) in sunrise for
2 some time. Now Mateusz Paprocki provided an updated ebuild [1], but I've
3 got a few questions before I put it in sunrise:
4
5 - sympy uses libxml2 and libxslt to generate MathML code. Which USE-flag
6 would be more appropriate, `xslt' or `math' (or intruduce `mathml')?
7 app-office/abiword-plugins and www-apps/mediawiki both use the math use
8 flag to enable math rendering, but as Andrey Grozin pointed out sympy
9 provides math rendering via LaTeX, mathml, TeXmacs, so using `math'
10 would be ambiguous.
11
12 - Should there be a USE-flag that pulls in TeXmacs? If yes, which one?
13
14 - Once again for plotting. Uses pyglet ([2]), which is not yet in
15 portage but comes packaged with sympy. Which USE flag? Just `opengl' or
16 a new `plot' flag?
17
18 - General ebuild review is also appreciated :)
