Hello *,
I've just committed maxima-5.11.0-r1 to gentooscience.org. There are
several changes as compared to 5.11.0 (inspired by fedora).
maxima-5.11.0-r1 now depends on x11-misc/xdg-utils, and uses xdg-open
for viewing html, ps, pdf files. Each user can configure his/her
prefered browser etc. xdg-utils is proposed as a desktop standard,
and, I think, should be used much more than now. Now each application
which needs, e.g., to view some html files, tries to select a browser
in its own way, incompatible with other applications (I know, I wrote
such ebuilds myself). It is much better to depend on xdg-utils, and
just to call xdg-open. Then changing $BROWSER will influence all
applications uniformly.
sbcl-disable-debugger.patch dropped, see
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/214568
I've also committed texmacs-1.0.6.8 which supports maxima-5.11.0.
I think it would be good to move this to the mainline portage tree.

Yes, I think all versions of maxima and texmacs should both be in the
main tree -- isn't that why we have package masks and architecture
keywords??
On a related note, the Axiom ebuild in Portage is a tad old, I think.
Axiom now has two repositories, a "silver" and a "gold" branch. Both of
them have more recent source that what's in Portage. I'd recommend at
least getting a "gold" ebuild into Portage, probably replacing the one
that's in there now.
