Hi,

The sci-mathematics herd (markusle and me) intends to remove from the
tree the following packages we can't maintain:

1) Removal in 7 days (already masked 2 years ago)

sci-mathematics/gturing: unmaintained upstream since 2002
Replacements: unknown.

sci-mathematics/mupad: now commercial and $$
Replacements: maxima, yacas, mathomatic


2) Masked for removal in 30 days:

sci-mathematics/kalamaris: unmaintained upstream since 2004.
Replacements: maxima, yacas, mathomatic

sci-mathematics/pariguide: unmaintained since 2002
Replacements: unknown

sci-mathematics/ksimus-{boolean,datarecorder,floatingpoint}:
unmaintained upstream since 2003, see bug #157577
Replacements: unknown


Best,

Scilab's Scicos ? Not a direct replacement, but there are some similarities.

Is there anything actually wrong with this one?

I don't see any bugs open on it, and it works fine here.

Dropping packages just because they are stable is rather questionable.

Not stable on all arches, and ebuild would need some work. Sorry, not
enough time/manpower to take care of packages unmaintained upstream.

The pari resources page mentions mathguide as a pariguide successor from
the same author. Haven't looked at it yet (and all the doc is in German).
