Subject: [bug#76270] [PATCH v2 1/2] gnu: maxima: Compile with ecl instead of sbcl.
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2025 20:59:47 +0100

Hello,

thanks a lot, Nicolas, for this quick review!

The comment on changing the style using this-package-input is a good
remark, I was not aware of it. I also tried to adapt the style according
to your other suggestions (but am not totally sure about the canonical
order of the fields of a package).

Here is a new version with a maxima package modified to use ecl, instead
of a separate package.

In the meantime, I have also changed (on master) the names of the data
packages according to our package guidelines. In the end it does not
matter that much because I think that the packages are not needed or
even usable outside of sage, so they can be hidden by using define
instead of define-public. I have done so for conway-polynomials, which I
have added to sage. Now the command "conway_polynomial (2, 5)" returns a
value instead of an error. Just adding them makes no difference for the
other data packages, however, so I have refrained from adding them for
the moment.

I have also added python-fpylll. To check that it makes a difference, I
have used the following sage code, given to me by a participant of the
workshop I am attending right now:
from sage.features.all import all_features
for feature in all_features():
    print (feature, end="\t")
    try:
        feature.require()
        print ("yes")
    except:
        print ("no")

It prints a long list of features, among which there is now
Feature('fpylll')	yes
with "yes" instead of "no" previously.

The two commits are also on the branch wip-sage2.

Andreas



[PATCH v2 1/2] gnu: maxima: Compile with ecl instead of sbcl.

This is needed by sage and does not change the maxima functionality.

* gnu/packages/maths.scm (maxima)[inputs]: Replace sbcl by ecl.
[arguments]<configure-flags>: Adapt to use ecl. Drop unneeded flags.
<phases>{check}: Adapt to use ecl.
{install-lib}: Add phase to install the file maxima.fas.
