The problems we faced with ecls and maxima as a result of the switch to asdf 3 are over and the sage-on-gentoo overlay is again fully working.
A big thank to Martin Von Gagern who did the work! Sage is fully compatible with ecls 12.12.1 and 13.1.5. However I am warning people wanting to use maxima 5.30 that changes in the way maxima handle some assumption may lead to some breakage. If you don't want that to happen to you, stick to maxima 5.29.1. The overlay currently provides its own version of ecls 12.12.1-r5 : while Andrey integrated a patch I wrote to sanitize asdf 3 handling in this version, it needed an extra cherry picked patch from upstream to be completely sane. maxima 5.29.1-r3 maxima-5.30.0-r1 Both of these ebuilds have a fix by Martin to build the naxima ecls library that is used by sage. Building that library, and then building a working library, was quite challenging and I cannot thank Martin enough for sticking at it until he was done. Francois
