Yes, I think all versions of maxima and texmacs should both be in the |
| 26 |
main tree -- isn't that why we have package masks and architecture |
| 27 |
keywords?? |

On a related note, the Axiom ebuild in Portage is a tad old, I think. |
| 30 |
Axiom now has two repositories, a "silver" and a "gold" branch. Both of |
| 31 |
them have more recent source that what's in Portage. I'd recommend at |
| 32 |
least getting a "gold" ebuild into Portage, probably replacing the one |
| 33 |
that's in there now. |
