New description:
There are a number of tickets active at the minute with patches to ECL
* #8808
* #9187
* #8951
* #8089
none have been merged, but the patches are not consistent across all or
them.
* The option --with-dffi=no from #8089 has not been been missed which is
very important.
* Some other less important changes (such as removing an inaccurate, but
innocuous mention of building a 32-bit version) are removed.
* There is a 10.4.1.p0 package, despite no 10.4.1 has actually been
merged.
The aim of this ticket is to update to the 10.4.1 source code, whilst
ensuring all the relevant patches are applied.
== Important ==
On #8951 Jason says "As a reminder here, this (i.e. #8951) should *only*
be merged simultaneously with the new maxima at #8731."
Assuming Jason is correct, that gives us a problem.
The Maxima update seems to have stalled (there are no updates on the
ticket for 3 weeks). If updating Maxima to 5.21.1 and ECL 10.4.1 need to
be done together, it will probably be best to create a ecl-10.2.1.p0,
which has all the small changes, and actually leave updating to the latest
ECL code until it can be better coordinated with the Maxima update.
At the moment, it seems several small but important changes to the ECL
installation are being held up for a non-trivial set of changes needed if
Mamima is updated.
