# Uses pari-2.3* now.

# It "mostly works with 2.3.* too". Is "mostly" good enough?                           
=dev-perl/math-pari-2.010801-r1

First of all, I don't understand the masking reason above.

Secondly there's bug #289144 which hasn't been processed yet.

Thirdly 2.010801-r1 is the only version of math-pari that is set to be concurrently installed with sci-mathematics/pari-2.3.4 which is now being stabilised. Stable dev-perl/crypt-rsa depends on stable dev-perl/crypt-random which depends on dev-perl/math-pari. So this breaks the tree for stable users of both crypt-* packages (and maybe more).

| Integer part and the first 4 digits after the point in the version
| of Math::Pari reflect the latest version of GP/PARI it was tested with.
| (2.01080* still fully supports only 2.1.7, but mostly works with 2.3.*
| too.)

So is it good enough if we build dev-perl/math-pari-2.010801 with sci-mathematics/pari-2.3.4 ? Do we break anything?

perl-5.10 is still masked.

In fact 2.010801-r1 is the only version ... with sci-mathematics/pari-2.3*.
There is no new problem introduced with stable pari-2.3.4. The problem is the same with stable pari-2.3.2.


I am all for unmasking it -- but i won't take any responsiblity for any problems.

math-pari-2.01080601 is in the tree, uses pari-2.3.4 and is not masked.
