Maintainer

• Would you like to be the maintainer for this package?

Why should this be included in the repository?

It's a powerful math system, maybe the one with the most features among open-source ones, and it integrates well with other libraries and apps. For example, it is ready to use as a JupyterLab kernel (it obviously requires some simple config during installation, I believe Solus could do it automatically if both are present in the system...?). It's not a new program, but it's well known (has a Wikipedia article too) and it's actively developed. It's used by technical institutes and universities for teaching and science.

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

GPL-3.0-only

What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

Engineers, mathematicians, data scientists, CompSci students... and that's all from personal experience. So, I guess not really niche.

Well, i thought you are looking to package it yourself. Are you willing to be the maintainer for this? I can approve this if so.

[nauta-turbidus]

I'm fine with it. Marked.

[malfisya]

Lovely. Get them!

Edit: Feel free to ask any question on matrix. We would be happy to help you. Cheers!

You need to add those to builddeps section, do you have a draft package.yml? It would help us diagnose the problem. Also it is better to talk about this in packaging channel, for interactive feedback : )
