It looks like 5.44.0 ebuild doesn't build maxima library for ecls anymore and that makes it impossible to use it in ecls. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install maxima-5.44.0 2. run ecl 3. type "(require 'maxima)" there Actual Results: > (require 'maxima) Condition of type: SIMPLE-ERROR Module error: Don't know how to REQUIRE MAXIMA.

The old patch for building the library with ecls no longer applies. I don't know ecls well enough to construct a new patch. If you want this library, please, send me a patch.
François has a fix for this and, I think, some other issues in the sage-on-gentoo overlay. Shall we merge some of them?
Indeed I do. Feel free to plunder. As far as I remember I had to fix numerous issues in ecls-20.4.24 first to make it work. A preliminary draft for the main tree was at https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/16725. All those fixes are not needed anymore in the new ecls. The patch is otherwise really small. Beside that I still carry a couple of patches from sage that seem to get no traction in upstream maxima.

The ECL package needed for USE=ecls got dropped from the ebuild because the patch it requires no longer applied. We take François Bissey's patch from the sage-on-gentoo overlay and re-enable it.
