http://fricas.svn.sourceforge.net/ To check out a copy do: svn co https://fricas.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fricas/trunk fricas FriCAS revision 6 is identical to a subset of wh-sandbox branch revision 646. Subset, because I decided to do a major cleanup -- FriCAS source tree (withoout .svn files) takes 21 Mb, while wh-sandbox needs 74 Mb. Checked out FriCAS tree is 62 Mb compared to 180 Mb for wh-sandbox. I have removed Nag library support, doc subdirectory, cached viewport, cached databases and libaxiom.al. There are also few other removals. Due to removals revision 6 is completly broken -- it is useful only for the purpose of monitoring changes. The current revision, that is revision 11 corrected most of the breakage. In particular algebra should now bootstrap from empty databases. To make graphic examples in HyperDoc one has to invoke extra command in X windows (the rest of the build works fine in text mode). I know of some uncorrected breakage on HyperDoc pages (due to Nag routines), and of course more breakage can show up.
