Hi all, I consider my tries of reviving sci-mathematics/axiom as failed. The current version in the tree does not compile per http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326575 . I tried to bump the package, but as we found in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336789 the internal copy of gnu common lisp that axiom tries to build (gcl is dead-upstream hard masked in the tree) requires <dev-libs/gmp-5, otherwise it will try to build an internal copy of gmp-4 which will fail, and is unacceptable. I don't know if it is worth the effort to try to beat it to work with the system's gmp. This would probably end up in reviving gcl ourselves.
What is a proper course of action here? Should we last-rite it or at least package.mask it to see what upstream does about their dead lisp compiler ? Cheers, Thomas -- Thomas Kahle
