Re: [Axiom-developer] Bootsys and Depsys history

Thank you, Tim,

it's always good to learn about the historic aspects.

Recently, Waldek removed BOOT in favour of SHOE. Then he switched to 
compile the .boot files with bootsys. While seemingly FriCAS compiles 
fine, libaxiom.al currently does not.

The first problem was missing parentheses in ax.boot. But there is 
another one which I am currently trying to track down. If I didn't have 
"git bisect run" I would give up. But so it's just waiting for the 
computer to show the bad commit.
