Comment 3 Valery Pipin 2011-07-04 23:03:05 CEST 
BTW, I have built rpms mga packages for sbcl,maxima-sbcl, jabref also some packages mentioned in http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sciencesig, e.g. gdl (gnudatalanguage , this require building plplot) for myself. sbcl version 1.0.49 was built from scratch using mageia's clisp rpm (and also using texinfo from MDV), maxima-sbcl was rebuilt using maxima*mga.src.rpm. I can share this things with mageia repository, though the specs for gdl and plplot have to be cleaned and checked by more experienced packager before

Hi Valery,

Thanks for your work on this, and apologies for not reverting any earlier. It sounds like you have the (much needed) skills and interests to help Mageia further.

Are you interested in becoming an 'official' Mageia packager? If yes, please read http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packages_mentoring . Soon you could be the official maintainer for the packages you have provided and have shown an interest for :-)
