Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima" * Package name : wxmaxima Version : 17.10.0-1 Upstream Author : Andrej Vopodivec * URL : http://andrejv.github.io/ * License : GPL Section : math It builds those binary packages: wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima wxMaxima is a powerful graphical front-end for maxima, a Computer Algebra System, in other words: For a program that does actually calculate symbolically instead of with numbers. Even if it supports calculating with floating-point (using the numerical coprocessor or floats with a user-specified precision), exact rational numbers (arbitrary length integers, roots and fractions), if needed. One example: (%i1) tst: a^2+b^2=c^2; (tst) b^2+a^2=c^2 (%i2) sol:solve(tst,a); (sol) [a=-sqrt(c^2-b^2),a=sqrt(c^2-b^2)] (%i3) integrate(sol,b); (%o3) [a*b=-(c^2*asin(b/abs(c)))/2-(b*sqrt(c^2-b^2))/2+%c1,a*b=(c^2*asin(b/abs(c)))/2+(b*sqrt(c^2-b^2))/2+%c2] The current version incorporates a drastic speed boost, mouseover tooltips for the more exotic of maxima's error messages, support to export 2D maths as DVG, Literally hundreds of bug-fixes, antialiassing for lines... A longer changeLog for the new upstream release reads: * Jump to the char containing the error on encountering unmatched parenthesis. * Try to place the cursor near the error in all other cases. * Attempt to mark the whole error message in red. This is bound to fail in some cases as maxima sometimes only sends part of an error message through the error() command. But it is better than nothing. * Detect and mark most warnings. * A "evaluate cells below" right-click-menu item. * Autosave now even works for unsaved documents adding them to the "recent documents" list if needed. * Big parenthesis are now drawn using unicode characters, if available. * Nicer integral, Product and Sum signs, optionally including antialiassing even if no font provides them. * MouseOver tooltips for some of the more exotic worksheet items. * A "Copy as svg" function that is as good as wxSVGFileDc allows us to be. * Worksheet objects now can provide their own ToolTips. * Config Dialogue: An editor for the startup file. * It is now possible to select which formats "Ctrl+C" should place data on the clipboard in. * Now multiple animations can run concurrently and can be told to autostart. * A menu entry that allows to select 1D and ASCII Art Maths * Recent files that currently don't exist are grayed out now. * A command-line switch that triggers evaluation on startup of wxMaxima * Many Bug Fixes and Performance improvements. The debian package is lintian-clean on my computer. Unfortunately on mentors.debian.net both my watch file and the one from the uscan manpage/https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch#GitHub seem not to work => I would appreciate any help in this point. To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/wxmaxima_17.10.0-1.dsc More information about hello can be obtained from http://andrejv.github.io/ Changes since the last upload: * New upstream release with many new features, bugfixes and performance improvements. * Switched the build system to cmake replacing the dependency to dh-autoreconf by the dependency to cmake. * Bumped the standards version to 3.9.8 * debian/rules: Cleaned up override_dh_auto_build and override_dh_auto_install * debian/control: wxMaxima doesn't depend on a specific version of maxima and maxima-doc. * debian/control: There is a good fallback for a missing fonts-jsmath. maxima-doc isn't necessary for running wxMaxima and the type of pdf animations texlive-latex-extra was needed for are no more supported by any major pdf viewer => Changed these packages to "suggested". * debian/control: Dropped the dependency to ImageMagick, perl and texinfo which are no more used. * debian/copyright: wxmathml.lisp has been replaced by wxmathml.lisp.in * debian/watch: github is the new project location. * Tried to make the watch file work again. * Dropped all patches as they were upstreamed. * Added a Patch that updates the location of appdata.xml Regards, Gunter Königsmann
