Packages I'm no longer interested in: media-gfx/fotoxx sci-libs/arprec sci-libs/mathgl sci-libs/qd sci-mathematics/genius sci-mathematics/gsl-shell sci-mathematics/mathmod sci-mathematics/reduce
fotoxx is now maintainer-needed. If anybody is interested, welcome. The upstream releases very often, a bump is needed.
All the other packages are now maintained by sci or sci-mathematics projects. If anybody is interested, please add yoursels as a maintainer. Maybe, gsl-shell and mathmod can be last-rited if nowbody takes them - I experimented with them a little but did not find them useful.
reduce is a very old version, hard-masked, non-working. reduce is a powerful and efficient CAS comparable with maxima. I use it quite often, but I compile new versions by hand, outside portage. The build system is terrible. If somebody could bump it to a modern version (an essential rewrite of the ebuild is needed), it would be excellent. Otherwise, we'll have to remove it :-(
One more appeal to the community. wxmaxima is used by many maxima users. I was not its formal maintainer, but in the past I did much work bumping it. The version in the tree is old (though working). The bump is urgently needed. The upstream has switched to cmake, and a nearly complete rewrite of the ebuild is needed.
