Hello all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After a message from Tobias I took a look at the newest ecl.
It's currently in the NEW queue [1] because the new libecl has a
different SO name, and thus we have to do a Transition [2]</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In order to do this transition we need to rebuild the reverse
dependencies of ecl after it clears NEW, so python3-sage
and maxima-sage IIRC and upload these to experimental.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then we can ask the release team to coordinate the transition</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards, Peter </div>
<div><br>

Dima - I’m not 100% sure what the Common Lisp Team’s
workflow is, but possibly a merge request at Salsa might
be useful:</div>

<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear
all,<br>
<br>
as ecl appears to be stuck on an old version, let me
offer you an<br>
update, based on Salsa sources, which tries to
conform to the usual Debian update procedures,
patches, etc.<br>
The primary reason for it is that it stalls the
packaging effort for SageMath in Debian.<br>

Needless to say, I would be happy to help getting it
in Debian.<br>

Cc to a couple of Debian devs I know personally, in
case an endorsement of sorts might be needed.<br>
