Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima": * Package name : wxmaxima Version : 20.12.0-1 Upstream Author : Gunter Königsmann <wxMaxima.physikbuch.de> * URL : http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/ * License : CC0-1.0, GPL-2, public-domain * Vcs : https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima Section : math It builds those binary packages: wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima 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_20.12.0-1.dsc If you want to know what wxMaxima actually is: It is a fast and feature-full gui frontend for maxima, a computer algebra system that is able to do all numeric calculations you would expect from a mathematics program, but additionally is specializedd in not finding a number, that solves a problem but in finding an equation that does so (and hopefully explains what the solution is all about): (%i1) pyth: a^2+b^2=c^2; (%o1) b^2+a^2=c^2 (%i2) solve(pyth,a); (%o2) [a=-sqrt(c^2-b^2),a=sqrt(c^2-b^2)] (%i3) %[1]; (%o3) a=-sqrt(c^2-b^2) (%i4) subst([c=1,b=4],%); (%o4) a=-sqrt(15)*%i Changes since the last upload: wxmaxima (20.12.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * A new upstream version * The debian package now uses GTK3 * Bumped the standards version to 4.5.0 * Bumped the debhelper compatibility level (and min version) to 13 * Removed debian/compat as it no more is needed in comp level 13 * override-auto-test no honors the nocheck flag * Removed an no-more-needed linker flag injection * Dropped the workaround for the spurious COPYING file install * New build depends for the automatic tests: netcat-openbsd, xvfb, debian-file-utils and appstream-util Regards, -- Gunter Königsmann
