Updated: maxima-5.35.1-3

Updated: maxima-5.35.1-3

[Achim Gratz]

This is a re-build with the new CLisp 2.49+ and fixes build errors in
the previous release, which has therefore been removed.


Maxima - Computer Algebra System
================================

Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical
expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series,
Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear
equations, polynomials, sets, lists, vectors, matrices and
tensors. Maxima yields high precision numerical results by using exact
fractions, arbitrary-precision integers and variable-precision
floating-point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and
three dimensions.

Maxima is written in CommonLisp and based on the DOE Macsyma that was
developed at MIT.


Packaging
=========

The installation has been split into several packages:

maxima            - common components and documentation, execution on interpreted clisp
maxima-exec-clisp - a pre-loaded clisp based executable
maxima-lang-*     - localization for several languages
maxima-xmaxima    - a Tcl/Tk based GUI

You will want to install maxima-exec-clisp in most cases and
additionally perhaps one of the localization packs and/or the GUI.

Revoked: maxima-exec-clisp (was: Updated: maxima-5.35.1-3)

[Achim Gratz]

I've revoked the maxima-exec-clisp sub-package since at the moment it
doesn't survive a rebase of the clisp runtime libraries(*).  If you have
that package already installed please uninstall it manually (this should
keep the package maxima installed).  For new installations just use
maxima as the base installation package.  Aside from a slightly slower
startup nothing else is expected to change.

The package will be resurrected if and when Cygwin's clisp maintainer
and I can figure out a solution to the rebase problem.


(*) The failure manifests in "module 'syscalls' requires package OS."
message when you try to start maxima.



Regards,
Achim.
