maxima-5.13.0



Hello *,

Gentoo Linux users can install maxima-5.13.0 from the Gentoo science 
overlay.

1. Add this overlay to your portage tree (this should be done only once; 
the science overlay contains many interesting things, you will not 
regret):

emerge layman
layman -a science

Add the line

source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf

to your /etc/make.conf

Later, when you want to update the science overlay, do

layman -s science

2. Add the line

sci-mathematics/maxima ~x86

to your /etc/portage/packages.keywords
(of course, assuming your computer is x86)

3.
emerge maxima

If you want to use maxima from TeXmacs, also do

emerge texmacs

(this will currently install texmacs-1.0.6.10-r1, which contains a patch 
for running maxima-5.13.0).
