Hello *, |

|

I've just committed maxima-5.11.0-r1 to gentooscience.org. There are |
| 4 |
several changes as compared to 5.11.0 (inspired by fedora). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
maxima-5.11.0-r1 now depends on x11-misc/xdg-utils, and uses xdg-open |
| 7 |
for viewing html, ps, pdf files. Each user can configure his/her |
| 8 |
prefered browser etc. xdg-utils is proposed as a desktop standard, |
| 9 |
and, I think, should be used much more than now. Now each application |
| 10 |
which needs, e.g., to view some html files, tries to select a browser |
| 11 |
in its own way, incompatible with other applications (I know, I wrote |
| 12 |
such ebuilds myself). It is much better to depend on xdg-utils, and |
| 13 |
just to call xdg-open. Then changing $BROWSER will influence all |
| 14 |
applications uniformly. |

sbcl-disable-debugger.patch dropped, see |

I've also committed texmacs-1.0.6.8 which supports maxima-5.11.0. |

|
| 21 |
I think it would be good to move this to the mainline portage tree. |
