maxima failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f34 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=60912458 For details on the mass rebuild see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_34_Mass_Rebuild Please fix maxima at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks, maxima will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 35, maxima will be retired, if it still fails to build. For more details on the FTBFS policy, please visit: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/

I believe I have fixed the gcl issue, and have gone ahead with updating ecl since maxima failed to build anyway. Please try another build now. It would also be nice if, prior to building, somebody would remove this line: %define texmf %{_datadir}/texmf and change all instances of "%{texmf}" to "%{_texmf}". The package currently installs its TeX files in a directory not used by anything else in Fedora.

I did, it succeeded. Thank you. :-) > It would also be nice if, prior to building, somebody would remove this line: > > %define texmf %{_datadir}/texmf > > and change all instances of "%{texmf}" to "%{_texmf}". That can be done. More to see later. > The package > currently installs its TeX files in a directory not used by anything else in > Fedora. I disagree with this part: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/* maxima-5.43.2-3.fc33.x86_64 lyx-common-2.3.6.1-1.fc33.noarch R-core-4.0.3-1.fc33.x86_64 If we remove it in maxima we should do it in the other as well. :-) I will coordinate the change, removing it immediately from maxima and lyx. I will take it to R as well.
