Bug#1034049: RFS: wxmaxima/23.04.0-1 -- GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima":

 * Package name : wxmaxima
   Version  : 23.04.0-1
   Upstream contact : Gunter Königsmann 
 * URL  :http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/
 * License  : GPL-2, CC0-1.0, public-domain
 * Vcs  :https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima
   Section  : math

The source builds the following binary packages:

  wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

what wxMaxima does do is: It is a quite featureful UI that allows to use 
maxima, the
computer algebra system. It displays the maths as nice 2d equations, converts 
them
to SVG or PNG, if requested, generates animated plots.
A sample wxMaxima session [as 1D maths] would be:

(%i1)   a*x+b*x^2+c=3;
(%o1)   b*x^2+a*x+c=3
(%i2)   solve(%,x);
(%o2)   [x=-(sqrt(-4*b*c+12*b+a^2)+a)/(2*b),x=(sqrt(-4*b*c+12*b+a^2)-a)/(2*b)]

To access further information about this package, please visit the following 
URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima/

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

  dget 
-xhttps://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/wxmaxima_23.04.0-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 wxmaxima (23.04.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream version

Thanks for your bug report.

In the git main branch of wxMaxima this just has been resolved via 
https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/commit/b98385cc0892548645c00648db7a1488806093a2.

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima", a powerful
GUI for maxima,a quite versatile computer algebra system:

Changes since the last upload:

 wxmaxima (22.11.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream version
   * Disallowed to build with the old wxWidgets 3.0
Seems like the last of these two changes is especially important as
debian actively wants to get actively rid of the old 3.0 version of
wxWidgets.

Bug#1023250: RFS: wxmaxima/22.09.0-1 -- GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I received a mail that wxMaxima is about to be removed from debian if I 
don't switch to the newest wxWidgets version =>

Am looking for a sponsor for the new version of my package "wxmaxima" that
besides support for the newest version of wxWidgets comes with 
improved wizards and a all-new integrated help browser:

 * Package name : wxmaxima
   Version  : 22.09.0-1

 * Vcs  : https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima
   Section  : math

The source builds the following binary packages:

  wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

What wxMaxima does:

  wxMaxima is a quite complete GUI for maxima that does goth numeric
  calculations with arbitrary-size floats, integers and rational numbers
  (sqrt(2)*%pi/7 or similar). But its main goal is symbolic calculations 
  like the following:

  (%i1) a^2+b^2=sin(c);
  (%o1) b^2+a^2=sin(c)
  (%i2) solve(%,c);
  solve: using arc-trig functions to get a solution.
  
  Some solutions will be lost.
  
  (%o2) [c=asin(b^2+a^2)]

   * A new upstream version bringing vast improvements
   * The main branch of wxMaxima is now named "main"
   * Added a cmake flag that tells not to install fonts there is a package for
   * A patch that hinders wxMaxima from installing the old empty ChangeLog

The new upstream version brings in finer-grained pagebreak logic for printing, 
much faster and accurate display of maths, literally thousands of bug fixes and
modernized wizards for many more maths functions.

Wow... ...might that be a missing runtime dependency in the xvfb-run

Included it in the build description, now.

Sorry that this fix needed more time: I have decided that a privacy
issue justifies a new upstream release

=> updated wxMaxima 20.12.1-1 to debian mentors and deleted wxMaxima
20.12.0-1. Do I now need to modify this bug somehow to reflect the change?

Thanks a lot in advance,

and kind regards,

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

Bug#964328: [wxmaxima] GLib-GIO-CRITICAL : g_dbus_proxy_new: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

[Gunter Königsmann]

wxMaxima until about 2 months ago for showing thechelp system used 
wxHtmlHelpCtrl from wxWidgets. And that control used wxWebView. So you might be 
right about what control triggered the warning. The current wxMaxima master has 
a performance issue. Once that is resolved I will try to upload a new release 
to Debian-testing.

[Gunter Königsmann]

How does one reassign bugs? I second the argumentation but wxMaxima doesn't use 
the dbus, nor can it show nor suppress these warnings. It is libwxWidgets, who 
does.

Bug#962750: Update nheko in buster-backports to to latest upstream release (0.7.1)

[Gunter Königsmann]

Wait: it compiles and then the linker tells is that a command that was declared 
somewhere was never compiled? That looks like a -l switch is missing in the 
linker command line. Or like a library declares to provide things it then 
doesn't which would be a big in that library.

Tried to forward this bug to the wxWidgets guys as the bug lies in wxWidgets 
and I cannot completely avoid opening modal dialogs.

Bug#934386: wxScrolled flickers when the horizontal scrollbar is active and GTK3 is used

[Gunter Königsmann]

|Wild Update:
|

|After an|

|the combination GTK3.0, wxWidgets and any ribbon, nearly any list view
and all scrolled windows flicker real bad. At least if the CPU power
doesn't allow for a repaint before the data arrives at the screen.
Examples of flickering things are wxWidget's scroll and the ribbon sample.

|After an|

||   export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus||

||the flicker is completely gone.

||Can anybody think of any reason why this even remotely follows any logic?

I fix about five bugs in wxMaxima a week. Reporting a bug to debian
costs at least one week of work and wxMaxima is using enough of
wxWidget's functionality that it has the potential of being a near-ideal
bug detector for wxWidgets  => If I can work around a bug I do that
instead of reporting it. Else we would need a bigger team for supporting
wxMaxima.

As there have been no new bug reports after the wxMaxima version from
July was uploaded I am rather curious if any of the problems I've
encountered are likely to materialize on other computers. Perhaps I have
managed to transform my system into a quite complete test case somehow -
which isn't bad as until now I've been able to reproduce (and in most
cases to resolve) all bug reports I got for wxMaxima.

Kind regards,

Bug#941440: RFS: wxmaxima/19.09.1-1 -- GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"

 * Package name: wxmaxima
   Version : 19.09.1-1
   Upstream Author : Gunter Königsmann 
 * URL : http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/
 * License : GPL-2
 * Vcs : https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima
   Section : math

It builds those binary packages:

  wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

Maxima is a cool program as it does solve mathematical problems but unlike 
other programs tries to find an equation
that provides a general solution, not only a number that solves this special 
case:

(%i1)   eq1:x^2+x-3=y;
(eq1)   x^2+x-3=y
(%i2)   solve(%,x);
(%o2)   [x=-(sqrt(4*y+13)+1)/2,x=(sqrt(4*y+13)-1)/2]

Maxima now comes as a pure command-line utility. wxMaxima is a graphical 
front-end that provides maxima with 2d
Equations, can render these as Bitmap/MathJaX/SVG/EMF/RTF and contains a 
comfortable editor including an undo 
function, many wizards and the ability to embed text, sectioning and graphics 
into the worksheet.

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_19.09.1-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

   * A new upstream version
   * The debian package now uses GTK3
   * Bumped the standards version to 3.9.8
   * New build depends for the automatic tests: netcat-openbsd, xvfb,
 debian-file-utils and appstream-util


The new Upstream version might be important for a smooth user experience, this 
time, as wxMaxima makes intensive use 
of (many? most?) of the funktionalities wxWidgets offers and the GTK3 
transition of debian seems to have triggered 
many bugs that have not yet been reported against the package wxMaxima - but 
did affect me causing me to work around 
them and to upstream the solutions before creating the release.

Regards,

All the workarounds for crashes due to gtk3 bugs would have been relevant, 
though => will make a new release as soon as I can.

[Gunter Königsmann]

Thanks for the offer of doing an NMU.

Currently the wxMaxima manual is in transition from a HTML file made
with a proprietary tool to a .md file that can be edited by the
maintainers and (using pandoc and po4a) can be converted into localized
HTML.

As soon as that is done a new wxMaxima release will take place that I
will upload to unstable: I was trying to avoid uploading a
nearly-obsolete version of the program.

Kind regards,

  Gunter.

Wow... ...will look into that possibility. Before that I will have to
find a way to ship around other bugs of the combination wxWidgets/GTK3,
though, that make it hard to see if the  "scroll" sample, if it would
work, would flicker (see
https://www.peterpall.de/wxMaxima/debian/FlickerScreenshot1.png).

Making separate bug reports for that, too, and bisecting them costs more
time than I currently have at hand. Which is why I asked if we
absolutely need to switch to GTK3.

Kind regards,

If you set GDK_BACKEND=x11 the scrolling bug disappears, which is why I
told that your hint normally would be an excellent idea. But I wanted to
make sure that this bug is not closed because there is a workaround as
using the workaround triggers other bugs in other places.

wxMaxima already did use SetBackground() when it used Clear(). I don't
know if the GTK version debian uses or in the wxWidgets version debian
ships is the cause for this not to helo.

The current release of wxMxima no more uses Clear() on GTK3. My program
therefore no more is affected by the bug. Therefore won't object against
closing the bug. But chances are high that other projects are still
affected.

Kind regards,

  Gunter.

Vadim (who is one of the maintainers) can reproduce it. I cannot
guarantee, though, if the right graphics card/GTK version/something else
needs to be used in order to trigger the bug. Or if this is one of the
esoteric bugs that only affect a handful of users.

That only partially answers my question. Currently I am playing with the
thought if the right idea would be uploading a wxMaxima version that
uses GTK3 to debian testing and looking if anyone except Vadim and me is
affected by the bug.

Bug#894663: transition: wxwidgets3.0

[Gunter Königsmann]

Dear all,

If I interpreted the last mail I got right transition to GTK3 is now
deemed "important".

Unfortunately wxMaxima is only barely usable if the combination wxgtk3.0
and GTK3 is used:

  * Scroll Wheels and Two-Finger scroll are broken in this combination,
if Wayland is used (934386
) and
  * If a horizontal scrollbar is visible all custom controls (e.G.
wxMaxima's worksheet) flicker badly (934386
)

I assume these bugs limit the usability of other applications, as well,
but might not be visible in the first tests after packaging; On the
application's side even with the help of the wxWidgets community I
failed to find a workaround:

  * If you manually enable double-buffering of wxMaxima's worksheet
instead of letting wxWidgets decide if the compositor already
provides double-buffering the worksheet goes completely blank.
  * If you disable double-buffering it flickers.
  * If you let wxWidgets decide if double-buffering is necessary it
flickers, as well.
  * If you try to do a manual double-buffering: You render the visible
part of the worksheet into a bitmap and then blit the bitmap into
the window the bitmap is correctly generated and contains the given
worksheet portion. But blitting the bitmap into the output window
results in a black window.

Hence not having to much debian experience my question is: "How
important is important?"

If wxMaxima otherwise would be dropped from debian I am willing to
switch to a flickering version that uses GTK3. But if I don't occur this
risk I would rather stay at GTK3 until wxGTK 3.2 is released - which
will fix this issue. The wxWidgets maintainers told me that wxGTK 3.2
will be released "soon". But the same was true a year ago - which I
normally would be fine with: wxGTK 3.1 works fine, the combination of
wxGTK 3.0 and GTK2 works fine, too - and it is wise to release a library
when it is ready, not according to an arbitrary schedule.

Kind regards,

   Gunter.

For many applications that might be a valuable hint. But it causes
hideous flicker, due to

Bug#939896: Two-finger touchpad scroll is broken in wxgtk3.0-gtk3 on wayland

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
Version: 3.0.4+dfsg-9
Wayland only (X11 works fine): Attempts to do a two-finger scroll using
my synaptic touchpad don't cause applications that use the gtk3 flavour
of wxgtk to scroll. The two-finger scroll seems to be ignored instead.
Ordinary gnome applications seem to work fine, instead. Also wxgtk3.0
applications that use gtk2 seem to work fine.

That was an excellent question that found part of the problem:

GDK_BACKEND was already set to x11 due to my debugging. If I unset the
environment variable the problem disappears => Logged in into a
non-wayland session and the problem appeared again.

Gnome on Wayland; For wxMaxima (the package I maintain myself) after
receiving the first screen shots with a background that clearly showed
that Clear() is't worked (none of the affected users complained about
this problem, as its symptoms aren't too bad for this specific program)
I have introduced a workaround: I paint a solid rectangle in the
background on gtk3 instead of calling Clear() => If this bug is closed
as "can't reproduce" I won't be angry.

The upstream bug is: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18463; If this

Bug#934386: wxScrolled flickers when the horizontal scrollbar is active and GTK3 is used

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
Version: 3.0.4+dfsg-9

If something is drawn by wxWidgets and is horizontally scrollable if wxWidgets 
uses GTK3 it is likely to flicker on redraw.

Upstream bug report: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18462. The problem is 
reproducible by the maintainer of wxWidgets. It doesn't happen in wxWidgets3.1, 
which (as it is a development version) isn't packaged with debian.

If a draw context is used and wxWidgets 3.0 (3.1 isn't affected, but isn't

is likely not to be cleared before a redraw as wxDC::Clear() doesn't work under 
these circumstances.

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"

 * Package name: wxmaxima

   Upstream Author : Wolfgang Dautermann and Gunter Königsmann 

 * URL : https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/
 * License : GPL-2.0+
   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:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/wxmaxima_19.07.0-1.dsc

wxMaxima is a graphical front-end for maxima, a powerful and free Computer 
Algebra System that is 
specialized in finding an equation that solves a mathematical problem, not just 
a number.
One example would be:

(%i2)   solve(eq1,x);
(%o2)   
[x=((-1)/2-(sqrt(3)*%i)/2)*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3)+
(((sqrt(3)*%i)/2+(-1)/2)*a^2)/(9*b^2*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3))+((-1)*a)/(3*b),x=((sqrt(3)*%i)/2+(-1)/2)*
(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3)+(((-1)/2-(sqrt(3)*%i)/2)*a^2)/(9*b^2*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3))+((-1)*a)/(3*b),
x=(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3)+a^2/(9*b^2*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3))+
((-1)*a)/(3*b)]

Maxima can solve numerical problems, too, though, using floating-point numbers 
(both double floats 
and arbitrary-resolution floats) or rational numbers (fractions of arbitrary 
size integers), if needed.

More information about wxmaxima can be obtained from 
http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/.

Changes since the last upload:

  Mainly switched to a new upstream version for which several 100 bugs were

Bug#914518: wxmaxima: Homepage field is outdated

[Gunter Königsmann]

Ok... ...will update the other bug as the problem has been resolved by
uploading a new wxMaxima version.

Bug#914518: wxmaxima: Homepage field is outdated

[Gunter Königsmann]

Wow... ...your message coincided with a report of a bad bug I had to
correct, too => mentors now contains an updated package with a new
service release of wxMaxima.

Thanks a lot!

and

Kind regards,

Bug#914499: RFS: wxmaxima/18.11.0-1

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"

 * Package name: wxmaxima
   Version : 18.11.0-1
   Upstream Author : [fill in name and email of upstream]
 * URL : [fill in URL of upstreams web site]
 * License : [fill in]
   Section : math

It builds those binary packages:

wxmaxima   - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

wxMaxima is a powerful (and nowadays even fast) graphical user interface for 
maxima,
a program that can solve any numerical task, but is specialized in symbolic 
maths.
One example on what it does would be:

(%i1)   frm:a^3+b^3=c^3;
(frm)   b^3+a^3=c^3

(%i2)   solve(frm,a);
(%o2)   
[a=((sqrt(3)*%i-1)*(c^3-b^3)^(1/3))/2,a=-((sqrt(3)*%i+1)*(c^3-b^3)^(1/3))/2,a=(c^3-b^3)^(1/3)]

   Gunter.

Bug#909701: RFS: wxmaxima/18.10.1-1

[Gunter Königsmann]

We found a windows-only bug and have used that as an excuse to release
an all-new version of wxMaxima that resolves the line-endings problem,
as well. I've also resolved a few lintian-pedantic and -experimental
warnings; The new package has already been processed by the debian
mentors servers whilst I wrote this mail.

Kind regards,

  Gunter.

Bug#908947: youtube-dl: backport youtube-dl to recent version for stretch

[Gunter Königsmann]

If the version that is shipped with Debian is broken it should be fixed. 
Backports are about providing new features for the ones who dare to try 
unsupported thingd, not about fixing bugs.

Kind regards, Gunter.

[Gunter Königsmann]

Seems like the internet did work after all => the corrected file is now
live at https://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima

I've also

 - upstreamed the fix

 - added gitattribute files to the .git repo that will prevent this from
happening again

 - and added the fix to the release branch so if we make a service
release we can drop the patch again.

Thanks again,

Wentthrough the files. As far can see exactly 126 lines of Text were
affected => I have prepared a patch and now hope that my network
connection allows me to upload the repaired package to mentors.

Hmmm...

perhaps a new upstream release is the only answer.

What is your opinion?

Bug#898853: Minimal test file for # 898853

[Gunter Königsmann]

Thanks a lot for this excellent bug report.

The actual error seems to lie in the file gnuplot.lisp in the package
maxima-common:


 (concatenate 'string
(unless (or *multiplot-is-active*
(member (get-option '$terminal) '($eps $epslatex
$epslatex_standalone)))
   (format nil "set obj 1 fc rgb '~a' fs solid 1.0 noborder ~%"



If you find a format spec that works (see
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/a-few-format-recipes.html), that does
work with gnuplot 4.x and 5.x (gnuplot 5,x I can test on my computer)
and doesn't lose maxima the ability to set the page background color
I'll upstream it.

Kind regards,

 Gunter.

Bug#890637: wxmaxima: Segmentation fault when redoing action

[Gunter Königsmann]

I cannot reproduce this on my computer. And this time the backtrace
tells what is broken in the worksheet but not when it broke. But I hope
it will be fixed in the next maxima release.

The .deb packages from
https://code.launchpad.net/~peterpall/+archive/ubuntu/wxmaxima-nightlies

should be installable on debian-testing. Would it be possible for you to
test them? As soon as we manage to resolve the last problems with
building .apk files for the mac platforms there will be a new release I
am planning to upload to debian-testing again.

Kind regards,

  Gunter.

Bug#890212: wxmaxima: Assertion failure: assert "m_group != NULL" failed in GetGroup()

[Gunter Königsmann]

Cool! Thanks a lot for this detailed information.

Seems like we have two options:
 - I can write a patch that fixes the problem for now.
 - Also I have resolved the problem upstream, which means the next
upstream release [which will take place in the next few weeks] will fix
this bug along with others. Which will save some work for getting the
patch into debian, but would mean that the bug is present a few weeks
longer than necessary.

If you say the 1st option is better (I guess you will) this weekend I'll
write the patch.

Thanks again,
and
Kind regards,

 Gunter.

Bug#881281: ugly scaled icons in the toolar

[Gunter Königsmann]

Gartoon and Gartoon Redux. The offending item there should be the sun. And you 
should be using the debian default theme which is lacking a few symbols. As 
wxMaxima and debian use tango icons it is quite hard to tell which icon comes 
from where, optically.

Kind regards, Gunter.

Bug#881281: ugly scaled icons in the toolar

[Gunter Königsmann]

I had added the scaling because normally gtk+ automatically delivers me the 
icons in the Right  size. But
 - on some icon themes a few icons were grossly of the wrong size. For example 
in my favourite theme I got a 512x512 pixel-sun on a 96dpi display.
 - and on debian a few themes lack some standard icons so wxMaxima falls back 
to the icons it comes with - that are big so scaling them down still doesn't 
produce icons that are too blurry.

 If you
 - extend the patch to just scale the icons if they are obviously way too big
 - and if you limit the scaling to 1/n and 1.5/n with n being an integer (this 
will reduce the blur to a minimum in the cases scaling is necessary)
I'll apply it and upstream it so the next official release no more scales icons 
on wxGTK.

Thanks a lot,
and kind regards,

 Gunter.

Debian cannot fix the rest of the world in case that it breaks - so this
might be the only way to go.

When dealing with 3rd-party products any change in upstream sane or
debian might cause breaks, though. And not every firm will repackage an
binary-only driver for a device they no more sell => If it looks like
such a thing might happen with a 300€ hardware I recently bought I
*will* panick. And will be prepared re-consider whom to buy devices
from, that is.

That would at least make packages that want a minimum version work.

Thanks for the bug report! Seems like I dropped the dependency along
with the minimum version (which I meant to drop).

Will upload the fix to debian mentors in a moment.

Bug#877861: RFS: wxmaxima/17.10.0-2

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal [important for RC bugs, wishlist for new packages]

Dear mentors,

Sorry that I have to bother you again but I am again looking for a
sponsor for my package "wxmaxima": This time I found a bug before
anybody else did.

 * Package name: wxmaxima
   Version : 17.10.0-2
   Upstream Author : [fill in name and email of upstream]
 * URL : [fill in URL of upstreams web site]

wxMaxima is a powerful graphical front-end for maxima, a program that
does symbolic algebra. An example:

(%i1)   val:[
a=10,
b=sqrt(2),
c=5
];
(val)   [a=10,b=sqrt(2),c=5]

(%i2)   poly:y=a*x^2+b*x+c$

(%i3)   solve(poly,x);
(%o3)   [x=-(sqrt(4*a*y-4*a*c+b^2)+b)/(2*a),x=(sqrt(4*a*y-4*a*c+b^2)-b)/(2*a)]

(%i4)   subst(y=0,%);
(%o4)   [x=-(sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)+b)/(2*a),x=(sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)-b)/(2*a)]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"

 * Package name: wxmaxima

   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

Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release with many new features, bugfixes and performance

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

Bug#865740: wxMaxima is caused segmentaion fault by ctrl+k

[Gunter Königsmann]

Thanks for this bug report!

I seem to be unable to reproduce this bug on my own system. Which makes
it nearly impossible to find it. Which means I need your help:

 - install wxmaxima-dbg (this package contains the info which line
number is to be found at which address)
 - type into a terminal

  gdb wxmaxima

 - make the program crash
 - and type into the terminal

  backtrace

With a little bit of luck gdb will now print out the line number the
program crashed at - and what lead to this. ...which most of the times
makes fixing the bugs trivial.

Thanks in advance,
and Kind regards,

 Gunter.

Bug#870078: libsane1 breaks all 3rd party scanner drivers

[Gunter Königsmann]

Package: libsane1
Version: 1.0.27-1~experimental1ubuntu2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

There are wishlist bugs already about individual packages no more
working after switching from libsane1 to libsane but I think the
situation is more grave than that: All 3rd-party scanner drivers that
are shipped in .deb packages depend on libsane. Renaming the package to
libsane1 without adding a "provides" breaks that dependency and it seems
like merely adding the "provides" does not get them into a working order
again. On my part both epson scanners I own and the
brother scanner are broken since the library has changed which leaves me
with no access to any scanner - and Ubuntu has pulled the libsane1 from
debian which means that ubuntu will havve the same problem, as well.

Bug#853787: wxMaxima problem - loadfile: failed to load /usr/share/wxMaxima/wxmathml.lisp

[Gunter Königsmann]

I have just tested to run a maxima compiled with sbcl on one debian
version on another => Seems like the only lisp that more or less
guarantees that applications don't change on changing the lisp version
is clisp. ...and that clisp is slow exactly because of this: On compiing
it produces bytecode that is interpreted by clisp instead of machine
code that is interpreted by the CPU => Staying with gcl might be
favourable over that.

Then gcl has again incorporated a change that made it incompatible with
wxMaxima without changing its major version number. Seems like we need a
lisp wizard to find out what happened in order to fix that again.

Another way out might be to compile maxima with a lisp like clisp which
doesn't tend to suddenly get incompatible to maxima or wxMaxima after
the release of a debian version - which unfortunately has the drawback
that clisp is *slow*:

 - install clisp and build-essential
 - download maxima's sources.
 - cd into maxima's directory
 - ./configure --enable-clisp --prefix=/usr
 - make
 - make install

reassign maxima,gcl,wxmaxima

But the newest wxmaxima backport doesn't contain the lines that need to
be patched. Also there is no stretch backports repository, currently, as
stretch is still the "testing" revision of debian and backports are made
from stretch, not to stretch.

...which means I have to renew my question: which debian version and
-flavor are you using and which wxMaxima version? And where did you get
that version from?

Currently stretch is in a freeze => don't know if it is currently
possible to upload something to testing - which then can be backported
to "backports".

Bug#853787: Found the problem!

[Gunter Königsmann]

I've found the problem: The program works right with maxima based on
some versions of gcl while it won't work for others.

=> Filed a support request at
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?109250

A workaround (that would temporarily loose wxMaxima's ability to set
maxima's current working directory until a fix is found) would be
deleting the line from the affected file that reads:

   #+gcl (si:chdir dir)

Will fix the bug as soon as someone finds out how.

* Package name: wxmaxima
  Version : 16.04.0-1
  Upstream Author : Andrej Vodopivec 
* URL : wxmaxima.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL
  Section : math

wxMaxima is a quite powerful graphical front-end for maxima, an even
more powerful computer algebra system that is specialized in finding an
equation solving a problem except of a bunch of numbers that does do so.
One simple example would be:

(%i3) solve(a^2+b^2=c^2,a);
(%o3) [a = -sqrt(c^2-b^2),a = sqrt(c^2-b^2)]

The current version of wxMaxima seems not to fix any bugs reported to
debian but closes > 300 bug reports on wxMaxima's bug tracker including
many ways to crash the program and the fact that printing didn't work.
It also provides many new features and perfomance improvements and
automatically repairs broken files wxMaxima 13.04 generated when the
 key was hit right before saving the file.

A somehow more detailed ChangeLog would be:

  * A TeX-like subscript notation: A_1 is now by default shown as an A with
an 1 as subscript
  * High-quality icons for high-dpi screens.
  * Some broken .wxmx files generated with wxMaxima 13.04 and older will now
automatically be repaired
  * Tried to make communication with maxima more stable
  * Debug: A monitor for the xml communication between maxima and wxMaxima
  * Leading White-space in front of a character that has to be escaped in
XML is no more ignored.
  * jpeg-encoded images are now no more converted to much larger png files
on saving .wxmx files and on exporting.
  * Images will now actually be converted to the target format.
  * Bumped the minor version of the .wxmx format: Some old versions of
wxmaxima will replace .jpg files embedded in .wxmx files by a
placeholder on load
  * Increased both speed and memory-efficiency of image handling
  * Save the zoom factor at exit and reload it on opening a new file
  * An option that makes wxMaxima use user-defined labels instead of %o
where an
user-defined label exists. Works well together with unchecking the
"export code cells" config item.
  * A separate text style for user-defined labels.
  * The "evaluate all cells" and "evaluate till here" now start with a fresh
instance of maxima
  * TeX export now should work with most unicode chars we have ESC sequences
for.
  * An auto-repair functionality that repairs most .wxmx files wxMaxima
13.04
was not able to open again.
  * A few new ESC sequences and markdown commands.
  * "#" now is shown as a "not equal" sign as a "not equal" sign already
would
be interpreted as "#".
  * Teach CCL on Windows how to deal with unicode variable names like
ü and α. For SBCL the necessary change has been done on the maxima side.
  * Sidebars for symbols
  * Printing text cells now works again
  * The  key now works as a shortcut that closes the search dialogue.
  * A copy-to-MathML feature
  * Many bug, usability and performance fixes
  * Most importantly: If it is a cursor it now blinks.

already have the package with the patch ready), so if you tell me i
can do so I will upload it to debian mentors.


No, that's all one step - prepare and test a package, and then file 
this bug attaching the debdiff.



And I do have a practical question: The current package has the
version number 13.04.2-4+b1. If I upload my new version it will be
13.04.2-4u1. Is this correct?


Close(ish) - 13.04.2-4+deb8u1. (Also upload versions are based on 
source versions, so the current version in stable is just 13.04.2-4.)

Dear all,

A few weeks ago I was informed about Bug#796954: wxmaxima segfaults 
when given some special 
characters.(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796954)
The problem is that if a parenthesis is entered in any of wxMaxima's 
many wizard dialogs this sends wxMaxima into an infinitive recursion 
loop that crashes as soon as all of the stack is used up.


https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752528#40 now 
proposes a 4-line-bugfix and since I tested it on my system - (it seems 
to work at least for me) and the bug is very easy to trigger I would 
like to ask if the corrected version can be added to 
jessie-proposed-updates.

devref 5.5.1 tells me that the first step to do so is to ask you.
The second step would be to build a package that can be uploaded (I 
already have the package with the patch ready), so if you tell me i can 
do so I will upload it to debian mentors.


And I do have a practical question: The current package has the version 
number 13.04.2-4+b1. If I upload my new version it will be 13.04.2-4u1. 
Is this correct?



Thanks a lot,
and kind regards,

Gunter.

Will try to do so but since this is my first time it will take a little 
bit of time.


The brave at heart can try to use the .deb package that can be found at 
https://launchpad.net/~peterpall/+archive/ubuntu/wxmaxima-nightlies 
instead: They should work on debian, too - and contain loads of 
improvements.

 Hi everyone,

 I'm experiencing a strange bug in wxmaxima. When I open a dialog 
and type some

 special character maxima will crash.

 To reproduce: Algebra -> Enter Matrix and type '(' (only the brace) 
into any
 input field. Then wxmaxima immidiatley crashes on my system. It 
seems that this
 bug also occures for any of the characters ()[]{}", and for any 
other input
 field in a dialog. However, in the main window you can type any 
character and

 wxmaxima will not crash.


People who use this package at work tell me that this is a real pain.
Students use windows, they type ( and the program crashes.

Could we please have a fix in jessie?

Thanks.

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"

* Package name : wxmaxima
  Version : 15.08.1-1
  Upstream Author : Andrej Vodopivec <andrej.vodopi...@gmail.com>
* URL : wxmaxima.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL 2+
  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:


http://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this

wxMaxima is a full-featured graphical user interface for maxima, a 
computer algebra system (cas).
Computer algebra systems allow to do any kind of maths with a computer 
in a comfortable way. This includes all calculations that one would 
expect from a computer and that result in a number. Maxima is 
especially well-equipped for this task: Besides the floats the 
processor hardware can handle it allows to use arbitrary-length 
floating-point numbers and exact fractions of numbers whose size is 
only limited by the computer's memory. But the thing a cas is 
specialized in is actually finding the equation that solves a problem. 
One simple example would be:


(%i7) solve(b^2+a^2 = c^2,b);
(%o7) [b = -sqrt(c^2-a^2),b = sqrt(c^2-a^2)]

But maxima will try to find a equation that solves a differential 
equation or a differential, as well.



More information about wxMaxima can be obtained from 
http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net.


The only change since the last upload on the debian specific side is an 
updated ChangeLog entry.


In the code there have been loads of enhancements, though:
 * Most important is that this package now is compatible with maxima 
5.37.0

 * Syntax highlighting in code cells
 * MathJAX now provides scaleable equations and extended drag-and-drop 
for the html export.

 * The table-of-contents-sidebar now shows the current cursor position
 * Fixed a few instances of cursors jumping out of the screen
 * Fixed a few instances of cursors jumping to the beginning or end of 
the worksheet
 * Better detection which cell maxima is processing and if it still is 
doing so

 * Regression: Hiding the toolbar didn't work on some systems
 * Markdown support for <=, >=, <=>, <-, ->, <->, => and +/- symbols.
 * An option to not export maxima's input as well as the output.
 * An option to use High-resolution bitmaps for the HTML export.
 * Images that are too big for the window now are displayed in a 
scaled-down version.

 * Fixed the support for out-of-tree-bulds that was broken in 15.04
 * Meaningful ALT texts for the HTML export to provide accessibility
 * An option to include the .wxmx file in the .html export
 * Performance fixes that are espectionally effective for MSW
 * Unification of some platform-specific code
 * bash autocompletion
 * A fourth sectioning level
 * Made entering uppercase greek letters easier and documented how to 
input special

unicode symbols
 * Automatic highlighting of text equal to the currrently selected one.
 * A batch mode that pauses evaluation if maxima asks a question.
 * A "halt on error" feature
 * Now evaluation of a new command is only triggered if evaluation of 
the last
command has finished. This means that output from maxima is always 
appended

to the right cell.
 * Un-broke error and question handling for multiple commands per 
cell. Sincewe now send
maxima's input command-per-command this means a cell with multiple 
commands is no

more evaluated faster than multiple cells with single commands each.
 * If ever a end-of-evaluation marker gets lost there is a new 
"trigger evaluation"

menu entry in the maxima menu.
 * On wxGtk autocompletion was replaced by a content assistant that is 
based on the

surprisingly powerful autocompletion feature.
 * Ctrl+Tab now launches the autocompletion (or content assistant, if 
available)

 * Tab and Shift+Tab now indent and unindent regions.
 * Ctrl+Mouse wheel and Ctrl++/- now zoom in and out of the worksheet.
 * Allow Extending selection from part of a single cell to multiple 
cells.

 * An Autoindent functionality.

Bug#791697: RFS: wxmaxima/15.04.0-1

[Gunter Königsmann]

No need to open a new RFS bug report if your last one was mistakenly
closed by someone else; please reopen the old bug instead
(instructions at [1]). I've done that and merged the two bug reports
together already.

Thanks a lot!
Was not entirely sure if it was closed by an accident or if this was 
common practice so I only made one half-hearted attempt to reopen the 
bug. When this failed I hoped you would be kind enough to help me if I 
created more chaos than intended - which you were. Thanks again for 
this.


Your package looks ok, but I noticed that you reverted back to
recommending ttf-jsmath instead of fonts-jsmath. Is that intentional
(and why)?
The question I ask myself is: how did I do this? Normally I try to use 
a workflow that prevents this kind of thing from happening.


Anyway:
- Corrected the dependency once again
- Did upload the corrected package to debian mentors
- and will press on the send button as soon as the package reappears 
there.


Thanks a lot,
and kind regards,

 Gunter.

Bug#791390: RFS: wxmaxima/15.04.0-1

[Gunter Königsmann]

Dear Vincent,

Thanks to your help this will be my first really professional debian 
package:


- d/changelog: please wrap lines to 80 chars (IIRC lintian has a
check for this, not sure why it's not being triggered here),

Done.

and
there's a duplicate debian/copyright: The tango icons have been
released to the public domain entry in there.

Done.

- I can't seem to fetch a tarball directly from upstream using either
your get-orig-source target or uscan directly (I check this when
sponsoring packages to ensure that the tarball on mentors is identical
to the tarball distributed upstream):

Thanks a lot! Didn't know about this command, but made it work.

Did try to upload the package to debian mentors under the same version 
number as the old one (hope this was a good idea) but did forget to 
remove the old one first = will retry uploading it when the server has 
sorted my mistake out.


Thanks a lot, and kind regards,

Gunter.

More detailed information about the package:

What is wxMaxima?
wxMaxima is a powerful graphical user interface for maxima, a program 
that is specialized in finding symbolic solutions for mathematical 
problems (which means it actually tries to find the formula that solves 
a problem, not the number the formula would result in).

A simple example what it can do would be:
 - a^2+b^2=c^2;
 - solve(%,c);
  [c=-sqrt(b^2+a^2),c=sqrt(b^2+a^2)]
But it can find a formula that solves many types of differential 
equations, too:

 - dgl:diff(diff(x(t),t),t)=-x(t);
 - desolve(dgl,x(t));
 x(t)=sin(t)*(at('diff(x(t),t,1),t=0))+x(0)*cos(t)
The actual output on the screen is much nicer, naturally, since the 
equations are displayed in 2D there.
It is to notice, though, that wxMaxima can be used for numerical work, 
too: It supports calculating with ordinary floating-point numbers if 
one requests this - but it will happily use arbitrary-precision numbers 
by default, exact fractions or bigfloat with a user-specified precision 
that is only limited by the amount of memory that is available.


Why does the package need to be updated?
The version currently packaged with debian (13.04) is over two years 
old. Moreover this old version has many bugs:
- In some locales many keys (for example in germany all hotkeys) 
didn't work in 13.04

- In version 13.04 drag-and drops drops about half of the parenthesis
- 13.04 crashes if it has to display sometimes not-too-complicated 
equations or if the save button is pressed while the program is 
calculating
Also the old version currently packaged with debian still doesn't come 
with a manual, has only a limited undo functionality and in many places 
is rather slow. A longer list of enhancements can be found at 
https://github.com/andrejv/wxmaxima/blob/master/ChangeLog


The package is lintian-free. Currently it is marked as orphaned. But 
I am willing to package new versions and upload them to 
mentors.debian.org on a regular basis. This is needed, too, since the 
next version, once released, will have a pack of features new, too 
including higher processing speed and syntax highlighting.

Cool! And thanks a lot!
Now I know why it is always said to be hard to find a sponsor: 
Reviewing packages looks like being extremely hard work to me.


Today when I woke up the first thing I did (after saying good morning

available at debian mentors again.


Thanks again,

updating standards version, adding/refreshing/removing patches,
dropping the debian menu entry + icons.

Bug#782738: Update of the package

[Gunter Königsmann]

I just have updated the package wxMaxima as the last upstream release 
has been updated (without a change in the version number).


The old changelog of the release read:

 * wxWidgets 3.0 is now a mandatory requirement
 * Various bugfixes
 * Loads of stability and performance fixes
 * Adjustable framerate for animations
 * A version-control friendly flavour of the wxmx format
 * A mimetype marker at the beginning of wxmx files
 * Better desktop integration
 * An offline manual
 * Autodetection of maxima's working directory on Mac and Windows
 * Use gnuplot_postamble instead of gnuplot_preamble
 * Dropped the hard dependency of TeXinfo
 * Translation updates
 * LaTeX: Use centered dots for multiplications
 * LaTeX: Added an option to select if superscripts should be
   placed above or after subscripts
 * LaTeX: Allow the user to add additional commands to the preamble.
 * Export of animations to pdf (via a pdfTeX file run) and html
 * Now complex conjugates are drawn as overstrike text.
 * bumped the minor version number of .wxmx: overstrike text is
   a new feature and therefore a file containing it cannot be read by
   old wxMaxima versions.
 * An autosave functionality that makes maxima work more like a mobile
   app whose documents are always saved.
 * A table-of-contents pane for faster navigation
 * It is now possible to scroll away from a running evaluation for
   arbitrary lengths of time and to choose to follow the evaluation
   process again.
 * Now TeX scales down images that are obviously too big for the page.
 * An undo for cell deletes and for adding cells.
 * Autocompletion for units from ezUnits


The new re-release addresses a windows-only bug and fixes the 
long-standing problem that the cursor sometimes instead of moving down 
jumped to the beginning of the worksheet.


Kind regards,

   Gunter.

The Zoom H2n is a popular field surround audio recorder, probably 
mainly because
it is the only surround recorder with built-in microphones at radio 
shack.
It can be used as a sound card, but has an SD card slot and batteries 
that last for about
15 hours - and records instead of one surround file two wav files: One 
for the front and

one for the back channels.
Since I didn't find a tool that combines them again to a surround file 
I wrote such a thing.

Am still thinking if I will include it with nautilus.

The package should be lintian-clean (at least my lintian 2.5.30 tells
