Bug#978535: RFS: wxmaxima/20.12.0-1 -- GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima":
* Package name : wxmaxima
Version : 20.12.0-1
Upstream Author : Gunter Königsmann <wxMaxima.physikbuch.de>
* URL : http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/
* License : CC0-1.0, GPL-2, public-domain
* Vcs : https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima
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:
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_20.12.0-1.dsc
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
Changes since the last upload:
wxmaxima (20.12.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* A new upstream version
* The debian package now uses GTK3
* Bumped the standards version to 4.5.0
* Bumped the debhelper compatibility level (and min version) to 13
* Removed debian/compat as it no more is needed in comp level 13
* override-auto-test no honors the nocheck flag
* Removed an no-more-needed linker flag injection
* Dropped the workaround for the spurious COPYING file install
* New build depends for the automatic tests: netcat-openbsd, xvfb,
debian-file-utils and appstream-util
