Use rmaxima

I think this is the expected behavior when not using rmaxima. Can you confirm that it works with rmaxima?

Yes, but u should change the message in optdep to be clear : rlwrap allow to use readline with rmaxima
Comment by Ronald van Haren (pressh) - Thursday, 10 January 2013, 12:05 GMT
It already is:

optdepends=('gnuplot: plotting capabilities' 'rlwrap: readline support via /usr/bin/rmaxima' 'tk: graphical xmaxima interface')
