Description Fedora Release Engineering 2021-02-01 17:15:31 UTC 
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.

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. :-)

That can be done. More to see later.

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.
