Maxima 5.9.3 release schedule



Hi Vadim,

sorry for my late reply.

> LANG=C make
> LANG=C make install

I've just built maxima with

./configure --enable-cmucl --enable-lang-es --enable-lang-es-utf8
LANG=C make
sudo LANG=C make install

After that:


Maxima 5.9.2.19cvs http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp CMU Common Lisp CVS release-19a 19a-release-20040728 +
minimal debian patches
Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.
Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report()
provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) :lisp *maxima-lang-subdir*

es.utf8
(%i1) ? solve

 0: (solve_rec.info)Introduction to solve_rec.
 1: Definitions for solve_rec.
 2: solve_rec :Definitions for solve_rec.
 3: solve_rec_rat :Definitions for solve_rec.
Enter space-separated numbers, `all' or `none': n

You see, it gives back info from the 'share' section, which is not yet
translated. And there is no info about function 'solve'.




Now I change the directory:

(%i2) :lisp (setf *maxima-lang-subdir* "es")

es
(%i2) ? solve

 0: desolve :(maxima.info)Definiciones para Ecuaciones Diferenciales.
 1: fast_linsolve :Definiciones para Afines.
 2: funcsolve :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 3: globalsolve :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 4: linsolve :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 5: linsolve_params :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 6: linsolvewarn :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 7: solve :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 8: solve_inconsistent_error :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 9: solvedecomposes :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 10: solveexplicit :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 11: solvefactors :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 12: solvenullwarn :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 13: solveradcan :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 14: solvetrigwarn :Definiciones para Ecuaciones.
 15: (solve_rec.info)Introduction to solve_rec.
 16: Definitions for solve_rec.
 17: solve_rec :Definitions for solve_rec.
 18: solve_rec_rat :Definitions for solve_rec.

But when I select one of these options I see the Spanish text with
accented letter substituted by rectangles.

They seem to be ok:


$ ls /usr/local/info/es
maxima.info  maxima.info-1  maxima.info-2  maxima.info-3  maxima.info-4
maxima.info-5


$ ls /usr/local/info/es.utf8
maxima.info  maxima.info-1  maxima.info-2  maxima.info-3  maxima.info-4
maxima.info-5

and 


$ ls /usr/local/info
contrib.info      es                  maxima.info    maxima.info-3
numericalio.info  simplex.info         stringproc.info
descriptive.info  es.utf8             maxima.info-1  maxima.info-4
orthopoly.info    simplification.info
distrib.info      linearalgebra.info  maxima.info-2  maxima.info-5
pt.utf8           solve_rec.info


See that folder pt.utf8 was also created.


Shall I check anything else ?
