If I understand well, contrib is the hierarchy of contributed software
not supported nu Mandrake. But the packager belongs to Mandrake. I
cc'ed him so he could say more.  Lenny, what is lacking from TexMacs
to get it to the Mandrake supported software Mandrake list?

Summary     : A wysiwyg mathematical text editor
Description :
GNU TeXmacs is a free what-you-see-is-what-you-get mathematical text
editor, which was both inspired by TeX and GNU Emacs. The program
implements high quality typesetting using TeX fonts, but it also
provides a user friendly interface.

The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically
generated formulas, and it is possible to use TeXmacs as an interface
to computer algebra systems. GNU TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme
extension language, which makes it possible to adapt the user interface
to specific needs and even to extend the editor.

WARNING! TeXmacs' very first start will be quite long, due to the need
to generate the needed fonts.
