maxima's lisp dependency (now on sbcl instead of clisp) is more restrictive than usual, needing ( sbcl = <version>-<revision> ) because it relies on lisp byte-dump. A better model if pygsl is version-restrictive might be various packages that depend on octave (the octave-forge packages and others) where I've restricted the dependency to a definite version, for a larger range of revisions than we'll ever use. -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
