Jason,
what is there about this ticket that means it can only be merged
simultaneously with the new Maxima at #8731? That Maxima ticket has not
been updated for 3 weeks. If ECL & Maxima need to be updated together,
that leaves a whole load of issues unresolved about ECL. Some I can think
of are
* The original aim of the ticket, which was to clear the tmp files - a
trivial change, that does not need ECL updated, but allows Sage to build
more relieably on 't2'
* The minor SAGE64 issue - again, a trivial (cosmetic) change that does
not need ECL updated.
* It stops the building of spkg's in parallel, as the ECL makefile needs
a trivial edit for that - see #9187. Again, that does not need a new
version of ECL for this.
* It stops a build of ECL on 64-bit OpenSolaris - see #8089. Again, the
option to permit this does not need a new upstream version of ECL.
It seems to me we have three choices here:
* Update ECL, without updating Maxima, which I think you are saying is
not possible.
* Update both Maxima and ECL to the latest versions '''quickly'''.
* Apply all the other very small changes to the ECL 10.2.1 that is in
Sage now. So leaving updating ECL to 10.4.1 until a later date.
I've created #9264 to update ECL to 10.4.1 and apply all changes.
It might however be wiser to create another ticket to just apply all the
small changes to ECL 10.2.1.
