Wolfram offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:

• mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.
• mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.

Thanks, @aussetg I fixed it on the PKGBUILD but didn't make a new pkgrel so people don't have to rebuild the package. Not sure if I'll open an issue upstream this time, as I already have a few tickets opened there (and ignored).

Also, @micwoj92, gmime is not linked anywhere, so I removed it and reviewed the entire dependency list. Used the script below to do this, but I still had to do a lot of manual review. I also built the package in a clean chroot and installed it on a podman container, and I can tell that at least the required dependencies are working. Namcap also reports only a few dependency-detected-not-included issues, but that's only because it doesn't support LD_LIBRARY_PATH yet. In any case, the dependency list should be quite close to the actual dependencies now. (edit: forgot to remove OpenMP, now it's done).

There is an incorrect backslash in the .desktop file. MimeType needs to be changed to:

MimeType=application/mathematica;application/x-mathematica;application/vnd.wolfram.nb;application/vnd.wolfram.cdf;application/vnd.wolfram.player;application/vnd.wolfram.mathematica.package;application/vnd.wolfram.wl;x-scheme-handler/wolfram+cloudobject;

Updated to 14.3.0!

• CHANGELOG.

One notable change is the support for Dark Mode (finally)!

@micwoj92 not sure, I need to review these dependencies.

Is gmime opt-dep stil needed?

Updated to v14.2.1!

I've also updated the PKGBUILD to strip a number of insecure RPATH and RUNPATH entries that namcap previously flagged. These paths were likely leftover from Wolfram's CI/build environment and weren't actively used by the binaries. While not a major security issue in typical (non-root) usage, removing them could improve safety on multi-user systems. I've also reported the issue to Wolfram Support.

Let me know if you run into any issues after this change!

Sorry, for the delay, I completely missed the 14.2 update. Also, thanks @algarafa, just added ttf-dejavu as optdepends. I'm reviewing other dependencies too, but that's been a long process, and I'm not having a lot of free time these last few weeks.

Starting with Mathematica 14.0, I found that Greek characters create a lot of vertical space in Input cells and are incorrectly rendered in inline TeX input within Text cells. Both of these problems can be solved by installing ttf-dejavu. It could perhaps be added as an optional dependency.

Additionally, the default settings lead to an erroneous placement of superscripts in Input cells. This can be solved by installing consolas-font (the default font used in Microsoft Windows installations of the software) and permanently making it the default font by executing SetOptions[$FrontEnd, StyleHints -> {"CodeFont" -> "Consolas"}] in a notebook.

Update to Wolfram 14.1.
