[oi-dev] PARI/GP for OpenIndiana

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

I'm submitting a package for Computer Algebra and (advanced) mathematics called PARI/GP.

$ pkg list pari
NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION                    IFO
library/math/pari (userland)                      2.13.3-2020.0.1.0          i--

This is a 64bit version without documentation (which depends on TeX I believe),
but the documentation is online at the University of Bordeaux, France:

$ pkg info pari

The command to start PARI is "gp".

PARI is actually also a C library "libpari" + gp their interactive shell, + GP their scripting language and gp2c a compiler from GP to C.

Hopefully this can be added to OpenIndiana as 'end user application software' of interest.

I did not check with the PARI group at Bordeaux yet, but because this is GPLv2 software,
I think they will not mind.

If there is an OK from the OpenIndiana team, I'll ask the PARI developers.
