no_ezxml.patch removing embedded copies of ezxml, which has many security issues and is no more used by scilab anyway.

===================================================================		 Pierre Gruet <pgt@debian.org> yes debian 2026-01-29
locales_utf8.patch using the UTF-8 suffix after the locale when building the documentation. Also skipping the attempt to launch scilab on regen_list.sce,
which can cause problems with the locales and cannot be run in a headless
environment anyway.

kinsol-va_list-arm64.patch Fix FTBFS on arm64: va_list cannot be initialized from NULL Fix "cannot convert long int to va_list" on architectures where va_list is a
struct (arm64, armhf, s390x...). The va_list argument is unused anyway.		 Sylvestre Ledru <sylvestre@debian.org> no
jvm-zero-vm.patch Find libjvm.so in lib/zero/ for the Zero VM On architectures without a HotSpot JIT port (e.g. loong64), OpenJDK only

no_jcef.patch build without JCEF (Java Chromium Embedded Framework) JCEF is not packaged in Debian. It is only used by the "browser" uicontrol
(uicontrol(..., "style", "browser")) introduced in Scilab 2025.1.0, so that
widget is replaced by a placeholder which displays a message, and
getBrowserCookies() returns an empty matrix. The jcef and gson jars (gson is
only used by this widget) are not looked for anymore.
The demos built on this widget are removed (they could not work, and load
JavaScript and CSS files from the network).
===================================================================		 Sylvestre Ledru <sylvestre@debian.org> not-needed 2026-10-31
no_xlnt.patch build without xlnt The xlnt library (xlsx reading and writing, required since Scilab 2026.0.0)
is not packaged in Debian. The xlsxRead(), xlsxWrite(), xlsxSheet() and
xlsxInfo() gateways are replaced by stubs raising an error. isXlsx() keeps
working (it detects zip files) so that readtable() and readtimeseries() still
read CSV files and fail with a clear message on xlsx files.
===================================================================		 Sylvestre Ledru <sylvestre@debian.org> not-needed 2026-10-31
arrow-25-cxx20.patch build the spreadsheet module with -std=c++20 The headers of Apache Arrow 25 use C++20 features (std::span, std::popcount,
std::bit_width), while Scilab is built with -std=c++17.
