clisp-maxima is required for maxima-5.9.0.0 (in stable on ppc), but
is not required for the unstable version.
I recently made an experimental package for a more recent version of
maxima, available at http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/
experimental/dmrrsn/maxima.info?revision=1.1&view=markup
I would appreciate hearing about successes or failures with that
version: basically, I'm looking for somebody who actually *uses*
maxima to test it.
You'll notice that fink's maxima package has lost its maintainer; we
are actively looking for a new one.
