Hi Camm,
I updated the debdiff to maxima 5.38.1-2.
I really hope we can make some progress on this topic. I read again the
private mail that you sent me in March 2015 and I must say that I don't
really understand everything. We tried using maxima-gcl with Sagemath,
but we get Sagemath test failures that are not trivial to fix for us. I
also think that we need the fasl file. (Is that what you called
common-lisp-controller library in your mail?) Unfortunately we have
nobody with any Lisp experience. Because of this, changing the way
Sagemath and maxima work together seems hard.
We are currently working a lot on packaging Sagemath for Debian stretch,
as can be seen from the amount of traffic on our mailing list [1]. I
think we have a realistic chance to get everything that is required done
before the freeze.
maxima is now one of two issues that we don't really know how to
resolve. (The other one is pari, which is resolved if pari 2.9 is
released in time for stretch.)
Best,
Tobias

+Description: Computer algebra system -- ecl runtime and fasl library
+ Maxima is a fully symbolic computation program. It is full featured
+ doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
+ functions, integration, Todd-coxeter methods for finite group
+ analysis, graphing, multiple precision floating point computation.
+ It has a symbolic source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
+ based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970s. It is
+ quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks.
+ It comes with hundreds of self tests.
+ .
+ This package contains a maxima runtime compiled with ecl
+ as well as well as a fasl library of maxima for ecl.
