Hi hasufell, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
you seem to be interested in singular. There is a non-working |
| 4 |
ebuid for 4.0.0 in the science overlay which you can do whatever |
| 5 |
you want with. Singular has been very hard to bring into Gentoo |
| 6 |
shape in the past, but maybe things are improving now. I'm aware |
| 7 |
of the QA bugs you reported, but it seems like a mountain of |
| 8 |
useless work. I'd rather treeclean singular than fix those. |

Cheers, |

Hi, |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
singular-4.0.0 still does not work. Remember last time we wanted to |
| 24 |
change configure of omalloc to not check that the ar programm is |
| 25 |
actually called 'ar'. This requires rebuilding the build system which |
| 26 |
fails in many many different ways. I suspect that upstream uses a very |
| 27 |
old version of autotools because some upgrade broke their scripts? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I remember that last time I asked them, they said that using autoreconf |
| 30 |
ourselves is discouraged, we should use their pre-made configure. At |
| 31 |
the moment I don't have the energy to continue. Maybe things have |
| 32 |
changed upstream and they care about this now? If either of you wants |
| 33 |
to try, it's there in the overlay and upstream moved to github now: |
| 34 |
https://github.com/Singular |

Cheers, |
