[Axiom-developer] Book, other questions

[C Y]

Hi all.  Firstoff, wanted to thank Tim for the amazing work on the
Axiom book.  Having the bare beginnings of a manual in Maxima, I'm
green with envy at the complete state of the book.  Is Oreilly or
someone going to publish a copy at some point in the future?  1000+
pages is a little stiff for the printer at work, let alone mine.

Second question - how would one go about packaging axiom up for a Linux
distribution, particularly a source comple based one?  Gentoo, for
example, has some definite ideas about sandbox type behavior and I was
wondering if anyone has tried making an axiom package for a source
based distro?  FreeBSD has a similar system, so that might also be
relevant.  I'm not able to try anything yet here since (time crunch
aside) I'm having problems compiling gcl.

Thanks much,
CY
