There are a lot of issues (already reported by other) but all are not a regression. amd64 ok

I'll vote for not stabilizing but dropping stable for x86 (also with my science hat on).  We don't really support this package and it is very tough.  I remember my failed tries to get the ebuild for version 5 (science-overlay) to just build. 
I doubt that anyone used this version.  The desperate use the science-overlay version of scilab-5 and the rest uses precompiled packages.

Waiting 6 months to say "drop it" is frustrating. Just remove it from the tree entirely then, please.

amd64: 
emerge pass except for ocml, does not seem to compile here.
application wise, it kept crashing, barely been able to get a reading on something.

Sorry for the delay.  This bug went under my radar because the signal to noise ration is really bad in the scilab-bugspam.  We had a short discussion on sci-ml and decided to keep -r around.  x86 stable.

amd64:

emerges ok including ocaml.  The package is broken, the moment you select an option & try to do something. it crashes

No crashs for me (only the editor seems flaky...)

Comment 9 Elijah "Armageddon" El Lazkani (amd64 AT) 2011-12-02 03:45:41 UTC

amd64: pass

Crashes occur as @Ian mentioned but they are not a regression, as @ego mentioned, they already existed in the older versions.

+  05 Dec 2011; Tony Vroon <chainsaw@gentoo.org> scilab-4.1.2-r3.ebuild:
+  Marked stable on AMD64 as I am told there are no regressions over current
+  stable, despite worrying run-time behaviour. Based on arch testing by
+  Agostino "ago" Sarubbo, Elijah "Armageddon" El Lazkani & Ian "idella4"
+  Delaney in bug #360601.

reverted to ~ppc since there are no reverse dependencies
