This is a collection of >1400 f77 routines. The problem is that there is no upstream anymore, and the code has deleted features, e.g.: dplpmn.f:216.72: 20019 ASSIGN 20020 TO NPR007 1 Warning: Deleted feature: ASSIGN statement at (1) dplpmn.f:624.18: GO TO NPR005, (20018,20154,20243) 1 Warning: Deleted feature: Assigned GOTO statement at (1) The full log: https://redports.org/~mexas/20130719210000-42286-133231/slatec-4.1.log Fixing each individual deleted feature is not that hard. However, there are a lot of those. In addition, there is a risk of introducing new bugs. The library, as it is, is supposed to be thoroughly tested. So I'll asking for opinions on what to do with math/slatec; (1) nothing - leave as it is, (2) try updating deleted (and obsolete) language constructs, (3) spawn another port, with no deleted or obsolete features, but with little testing?
