Well, I was tweaking and reviewing the series when=E2=80=A6 > It needs some old software libraries (metis@4, suitesparse@3), which > releases are not even in guix's history, and some compilation errors > fixes. =E2=80=A6I see two issues about licenses: 1. Metis 4 is not free software 2. Scilab is Cecill v2.1 and not gpl2 as the patch suggests. About #2, the fix is easy. :-) About #1, it will be difficult. Well, maybe these 3 old versions of Scilab could go to the channel guix-science [1] or guix-science-non-free [2]. If Scilab 6 works with Metis 5, then there is no issue with the licenses and could be included. WDYT? 1: https://github.com/guix-science/guix-science 2: https://github.com/guix-science/guix-science-nonfree Cheers, simon
