[Gcl-devel] Re: [Maxima] GCL

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  This is just to let everyone know about a few GCL related
developments.  I thought I'd continue posting these to this list for a
little while, until the new gcl-devel list takes hold.

1) Web site up at  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gcl/
        CVS tree imported from Dr. Schelter's last tree at
        utexas. Several patches uploaded.  
2) New list address@hidden
3) I've backported a few items from gcl-2.4.0 to get a stable CVS
        build.  Will commit in a day or two after some testing.  This
        includes a patch Dr. Schelter sent me before he passed away,
        which for some reason never made it into CVS, and which
        cleared up segfaults on Debian systems.


How you can help it interested:

1) Please consider subscribing to the new list address@hidden  You
   can do this via the web at
   http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel 

2) It would be wonderful if any interested parties could register at
   http://savannah.gnu.org and volunteer as a gcl developer.  Your
   patches/bug reports/testing results could be posted there for
   central reference.  Many items beside coding are needed, most
   notably testing and porting.  If anyone wants to use CVS write
   access, we could discuss this too.

3) Dr. Schelter seems to have been reworking the gmp support in the
   CVS tree shortly before he passed away.  Does anyone know what he
   was intending to do?  Scrap gmp?  Incorporate a smaller piece?
   Address malloc issues?  Any pointers/recollections most
   appreciated. 

Take care,
