1 Hi all,
2
3 I consider my tries of reviving sci-mathematics/axiom as failed. The
4 current version in the tree does not compile per
5 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326575 . I tried to bump the
6 package, but as we found in
7 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336789 the internal copy of gnu
8 common lisp that axiom tries to build (gcl is dead-upstream hard masked
9 in the tree) requires <dev-libs/gmp-5, otherwise it will try to build an
10 internal copy of gmp-4 which will fail, and is unacceptable. I don't
11 know if it is worth the effort to try to beat it to work with the
12 system's gmp. This would probably end up in reviving gcl ourselves.
13
14 What is a proper course of action here? Should we last-rite it or at
15 least package.mask it to see what upstream does about their dead lisp
16 compiler ?

18 Cheers,
