sorry, but the scilab 6.0.1 build took a long time, and after that failed with obscure ocaml errors. Since I am not actively using scilab and dont care too much for it, I set its maintainer to nobody. I've committed my changes to svn and interested parties can try to fix the build using https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mgarepo , and i can review and commit the patch if needed.

It looks like some problems with the new OCaml version:

Let's wait if upstream can fix it...

Setting the UPSTREAM keyword.

It's a pity the "See Also:" field doesn't accept links to mailing lists.

Scilab has been updated to version 6.0.1 in Cauldron, so I believe this has been fixed.
