Thanks! From the log it seems to me that maxima does mostly better now than what it did earlier. > http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/6699 > > is marked as '[with spkg; needs work]' but there is nothing I can do to > it.

(I'm not a mathematician). As you said the spkg's are fine. We just need to patch the doctest failures. It seems around 14 files need fixes. I would suggest we post several different patches fixing different files. Then different people can work independently. If its OK with you then I can take three files "calculus/calculus.py", "calculus/functional.py" and "symbolic/expression.py" for fixing as I am working with them currently. I can then attach the patch for these to your ticket. For the cases where fixing seems non-trivial, we can discuss here how to deal with them. BTW, it would be good if you could update them to the latest upstream version so that no more changes would be needed for now.
