Hi all,

I consider my tries of reviving sci-mathematics/axiom as failed. The
current version in the tree does not compile per
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D326575 . I tried to bump the
package, but as we found in
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D336789 the internal copy of gnu
common lisp that axiom tries to build (gcl is dead-upstream hard masked
in the tree) requires <dev-libs/gmp-5, otherwise it will try to build an
internal copy of gmp-4 which will fail, and is unacceptable. I don't
know if it is worth the effort to try to beat it to work with the
system's gmp. This would probably end up in reviving gcl ourselves.

What is a proper course of action here?  Should we last-rite it or at
least package.mask it to see what upstream does about their dead lisp
compiler ?

Cheers,
Thomas
