I just updated maxima to use sbcl-1.2.9-1. I didn’t use a more permissive BuildDepends: sbcl (>= 1.2.8-1) because I’m using an build option which effectively makes a copy of the SBCL interpreter in the maxima package; different sbcl versions will change the package contents. This option avoids other dependency deadlocks when sbcl is updated. This is definitely better than the old Depends: sbcl (= version) packaging. Admittedly, it’s not quite as good from a dependency standpoint as the prior packaging where maxima used custom sbcl-N-maxima packages, but on the other hand, all of those extra packages were potentially confusing. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
