Thanks! I sent an email to the debian-python list just now about joining the Python team. I agree with your changes and points above, but didn't want to put the team as Maintainer before getting an OK from them.
Bug#1023250: RFS: wxmaxima/22.09.0-1 -- GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima
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 Upstream contact : Gunter Königsmann * URL : http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/ * License : CC0-1.0, public-domain, GPL-2 * 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)] 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 -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/ wxmaxima_22.09.0-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: wxmaxima (22.09.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * New upstream version * Added the new dependency to wxWebView * Allow building with wxWidgets 3.2 Regards, -- Gunter Königsmann

Hmm, I can see how a user running `apt search ...` could get a wrong impression after reading the long description if it's incomplete or poorly written. > I've been using XFCE daily for 20 years and I'm still asking for a > more useful description because I _don't_ know what this package > is/does.

Woah, that sounds good. Apart from the 'paper mode'. Sorry but I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. Perhaps something like: "This plugin places a resizable text entry box, where you can enter mathematical operations to calculate, on the Xfce panel. Common operators (+, -, *, /, ^) with usual precedence rules and a number of functions, including but not limited to abs(x), sqrt(x), sin(x) and cos(x) are supported. An adjustable number of recent operations are saved in history and can be accessed in a drop-down list." could also work? Do you think it describes the package and its features reasonably well? In any case, thanks for the inspiration! > The important distinction here is between something that launches a > desktop calculator or something that provides a box in the panel that > will do calculations.

Well, it'd just be a launcher in that case and users can already add launchers to their panels. However, I can see how users unfamiliar with Xfce might get confused. > That'll be the best way to work out what was intended. Done. Let's wait for their answer. I'll update the package accordingly. Thanks.
