No development seems to be going on and no release has been made for quite |
12 |
some time. There are still a few mails now and then on the mailing list |
13 |
though. We're currently depending on an 70 MB patch that we borrow from |
14 |
debian, whose gcl maintainer also seems to be the only person to still answer |
15 |
mails on the list. I've asked on the list whether my perception was wrong and |
16 |
it went unanswered. I'm not happy about dropping it, but a few more bugs is |
17 |
all it takes right now. Maxima is the only thing depending on it and it builds |
18 |
fine with SBCL and I think OpenMCL. |

Axiom seems to include its own copy of gcl, (the ebuild doesn't DEPEND on gcl). |
