As it seems (#21963) linking problems cannot be resolved without a standard
Giac package I'd like to restart the argument here.
I successully cloned the giac core from the geogebra repo given here and
today fetched current changes, all via "git svn".
That anwers the question of availability of an actively maintained and
public giac repo. Git config:
[svn-remote "svn"]
url = https://dev.geogebra.org/svn/trunk/geogebra/giac/src/giac
fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
However, the code in that giac subdirectory is bare bones, i.e., without
any autotools. The other question is, is this code sufficient to support
both sage/interfaces/giac.py and sage/libs/giac.py and if not,what would be
needed? Would it be easy to add the parser to it in C++ (the one in
geogebra is in java)? If not I might be tempted to create a third giac
package (libgiac) just for linking with Pynac, and the other giac package
can stay optional for eternity.
