[Slackbuilds-users] updating mathics?

[Willy Sudiarto Raharjo]

> I want to update mathics, which now consists of mathics-core, mathics- 
> django, mathics-scanner, or mathics-omnibus, and others.  I checked what 
> I needed while building,and my SlackBuilds (mentioned last year are on 
> my website) made packages: determined the set needs click, mathics- 
> django, mathics_scanner, python3-mpmath, python3-numpy, python3-scipy, 
> python3-sympy, but I don't know what goes to what, so I asked mathics' 
> slack chat months ago.  They never answered.  I asked their github.  
> Instead they talked about finding python package dependencies in 
> general, such as with pipdeptree, which instead lists llvmite, 
> mathics_scanner, mpmath, numpy, palettable, pillow, pint, python- 
> dateutil, requests, setuptools, sympy (mathics-django is for command- 
> line but might not be needed for world wide web interface also for 
> localhost, but I'm unsure).
>          Then they proceeded to say 'standard' dependencies on Slackware 
> 14--from 13 years ago--are old!
>          That's without getting to details whether mathics-create- 
> database script Urchlay wrote is still needed (maybe not).
>          At this point, I give up: anyone can take over mathics. 
> However, if no one does, I'll try to continue.  I just haven't known 
> what to do since Mathics 4 (by/after which it doesn't work right) and 
> now despite it's called Mathics3, it's mathics 7.  It's a 'mess of 
> python dependencies' the programmers apparently aren't following/using 
> strictly UNIX-like OS, so I'm stuck.  I won't be able to submit the new 
> updates (though they work) without finding out what the dependencies 
> really are.
>          Maybe WolframEngine is easier (just haven't been able to install).
