I have a question for maxima developers. Maxima-5.9pre installs quite
easily on Mac OS X now under clisp, using the bootstrap script (there's
one little problem which is easily fixed).
I was thinking of making a fink package for it (fink is a package
manager for OS X based on debian tools). To do this I would have to make
a tarball snapshot of what's in cvs and put it up somewhere (probably on
fink's site). I wanted to check first and see if there were any
objections to this. Would you prefer that I wait until an official
release? If so, do you have a guess at the timetable? I understand this
version is unsupported and would go into fink's unstable tree.
It's possible that the earlier versions of maxima can be packaged for
Mac OS X too, but doing this is beyond my abilities.
Regards,
Bill McCallum
