I would like to recommend pretty strongly that a tagged version be used to build Maxima, so that others can obtain it (by some means, it's not important how they do it) and then get the same compiled Maxima. It would be great if Camm creates a new release and you use it, but failing that, maybe we can at least convince him to put a tag on the repo so that you and other users can at least obtain a known version. "Pre-something" isn't enough to go on, because it is not a specific version. For years GCL advertised a different version number than what was on the tarball. I don't want to carry on with an unspecified version. Let us try to pressure Camm into making it so that users can obtain a known version. I know that might or might not come to pass, but we should try. I've cc'd the gcl-devel mailing list for the record. Robert
