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)] 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_18.11.0-1.dsc More information about wxmaxima can be obtained from http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/.

Bug#914075: julia-vim/0.0+git20181115.ef55a5-1 [QA]
Hi Paulo, Some comments on your packaging: 1. Please use "Expat" instead of "MIT" in copyright. There are some variants of the MIT license, and "Expat" specifies exactly one of them. 2. Before you decide the name of a package, do some search would be helpful. For example, $ apt list vim-\* gives you a long list of vim plugins, while $ apt list \*-vim only prints several packages. It's obvious that "vim-julia" is more consistent to convention. 3. Uscan supports git mode, which monitors the HEAD of a git repo. At the time of writing, the 0.No-Release watch file is no longer a good solution. The rest part of your package is very similar to mine. And your autopkgtest test case and metadata file can be merged into Julia team's repo. Best, Mo.

"Excessive bounces" when I'm not intentionally bouncing
I received the below warning, but am not knowingly bouncing anything. What might cause this? - Have I set something up wrong? I use Thunderbird, and have the junk settings set to mark junk as such but not move it anywhere (as this is a fairly new install: when it has adequately learned what I consider junk, I intend to tell it to move junk to my junk folder). The spam filtering option in my email provider's web interface is set to off. I keep very little on my provider's servers (so unlikely to be a lack-of-space issue), and am not aware of my provider having any recent technical problems. - Is a spammer creating what look like bounces but are actually new spam? Not sure if they would want to do this, or if they could do so well enough to fool a Debian listbot. - Is my email provider bouncing spam even with filtering "off"? Their documentation contains references to 'bouncing' spam [0], but is ambiguous as to whether this means a during-SMTP-transaction reject (OK?) or a later "returning to [apparent] sender" bounce (n!) [1]. (That particular documentation appears to be for business customers, as the settings page I have is the one documented at [2] which doesn't mention bouncing.) --- If they are, what is a good way to ask them to stop? Pointing them to https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/FAQ is an obvious option, but are there better ones? In particular, is there a risk that identifying the list operator as Debian, and hence potentially drawing their attention to the fact that Debian lists don't use what the wider world considers normal anti-spam measures (rejecting non-subscriber posts, and address hiding in public archives), might make the situation *worse*? --- If they won't stop this, are there methods other than email to comply with "must subscribe" rules? I already use the web interface for most of my Debian list reading, but I have a backport so I have to be subscribed to debian-backports [3].
