Could you change the URL to mirror://gnu/gcl/gcl- ... ?

OK to push with this change.

Should be “maths.scm”, with an ‘s.’

Dunno, is “mathematics” (plural) particularly British?  Aspell’s
‘american’ dictionary recognizes it.

But in the abbreviated form most british people would say "maths" whereas most americans say "math".

PS: Your MUA seems to have troubles quoting non-ASCII text.

I'm glad you raised that issue.

I would prefer it if we could avoid the gratiutous use of non-ascii characters.
Although they can be handles in GNU/Linux, it is troublesome.

For  example doing a simple

 less gnu/packages/maths.scm

provokes the response:

 "gnu/packages/maths.scm" may be a binary file.  See it anyway?

And then the header is displayed as:

;;; Copyright <C2><A9> 2013, 2014 Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>
;;; Copyright <C2><A9> 2013 Nikita Karetnikov <nikita@karetnikov.org>
;;; Copyright <C2><A9> 2014 John Darrington <jmd@gnu.org>
;;; Copyright <C2><A9> 2014 Eric Bavier <bavier@member.fsf.org>

Is it really necessary to use a UTF-8 char here?   ok it looks nice when everything works,
but terrible in the other 90% of situations.

The same goes for quotes  " is a perfectly acceptable character instead of things
that rarely display properly.

The GNU Coding standards say:

  "Sticking to the ASCII character set (plain text, 7-bit characters) is 
   preferred in GNU source code comments, text documents, and other contexts, 
   unless there is good reason to do something else because of the application 
   domain."

I don't see that such reason exists in here.

Not in 2014, no.

That’s most likely because ‘less’ isn’t invoked with a UTF-8 locale.
Try doing, say: LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 less maths.scm.

It may be the same problem that affects the MUA.

When I have spare time and energy for that, I’ll happily submit a
patch.  :-)

GNU standardized native language support, presumably because it makes
the freedom to use the program practical for a wider range of people.
For the same reason, time has come to say goodbye to ASCII.

Thanks,
