I use openSUSE and run FriCAS from there. I have found openSUSE to be
stable over the years and so I'm keen to continue to use it.
In October they are releasing Leap 16.0, Their website says it is
"Expected to be Wayland-only (some Xorg remnants remain for now)"
I don't know what this means but I assume it will continue to allow
programs that require X.11 to use it or have some sort of X.11 emulator?
So I am hoping that this won't affect how I use FriCAS but these low
level issues do have a nasty way of throwing up unexpected problems and
its potentially more cross platform issues.
I don't actually require x.11 in that I do not start HyperDoc from my
startup script:
./fricas1 -noht
and I do not use 2D or 3D plotting functions.
So it would be good if a startup script could be distributed with FriCAS
that does not require X.11 at all and just uses the interface to the
Terminal Console.
I understand that Waldek is combining HyperDoc and fricas io into a
separate program. In your last message you said "I think that search
similar to constructor and operation search in HyperDoc could be
provided by appropriate table of data and relativly simple Javascript
code". This raises my hope that FriCAS could be made completely
independent of these low-level and cross-platform issues. Is this correct?
