Message-ID: <k09djd$dvj$2@dough.gmane.org>

Hi, I've created branch-5_28 in Git and tagged branch-5_28-base and
5.28.0. I've created tar.gz, srpm, and rpm's and uploaded them to the
SourceForge file manager. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files)

The new spkg is for ECL 11 as well as for ECL 12, i.e. ASDF-agnostic, along the lines of maxima 5.26.0 at #13860. Moreover it has
an upstream patch preventing segfaults. This fixes few tickets.

From my test with 5.27.0 that will break a number of things.... The interface to a number of functions changed and requires extra arguments which throws things all over the place of course.

True. I just opened this in order to have a ticket for it at all; I couldn't find one for 5.27 update alone (as opposed to things noting that 5.27 would fix various things) so I opened this. Feel free to close it if it's a dup.

No duplicate that I know off. May be an opportunity to update ecl as well, 12.2.1 works well with a few tweaks. 12.7.1 seems to have issues see #12985.

The newest Maxima is now 5.29. Ugrading ECL is #13324 and hopefully will have positive review soon.

We'll have to make some change to spkg-install when ECL >= 12.12.1 gets in.
See
#13324 comment:77

I'm waiting for more info from upstream ECL on this change.

Here comes a 5.29.1 spkg at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jpflori/maxima-5.29.1.p0.spkg

It builds and runs and passes most tests in sage/calculus on Linux.
Some tests fails because Maxima adds ? in some strings in calculus.py.

Work Issues: fix doctets

Your spkg diff for the readme says that you removed a patch, but I don't see that in the diff. But we track the patches directory, right?
