Hello folks, I more or less wasted the last 2.5 days on a Cygwin port of Sage 2.9.1.1. I fixed many bugs & build issues, but in the end something odd prevented me from importing any of the sage modules. I blogged about the details [which are on planet Sage right now], so no point in bitching and ranting about it here. Something good come from it: GNUTLS now compiles out of the box on Cygwin [neither 1.6 nor 2.2 do] and I created mwrank & friends binaries for Cygwin from the latest cremona sources. I also fixed bugs in about another 15 other spkgs, but it will take time to properly created cleaned up patches to send upstream. Together with gcc 4.3 fixes, Solaris build issues and a potential Leopard 64 bit port of Sage it seems like I won't be bored in the next couple weeks.
Anyway, not I started to be in release mode. I poke around in trac and designated some/most tickets with patches/bundles/spkgs with "need review", so if you have some spare time please head over there. If you find a ticket with a patch/spkg/bundle please add the [with X, need review to it] and reassign it against 2.9.2 if it isn't already. The plan for 2.9.2 is to do a "bug fix only" release mostly aimed at the AMD meeting in San Diego in a week or so where it will be distributed on DVD. So I tend to be rather risk averse, i.e. no major spkg updates without a lot of testing and no last minute merges without testing, regardless who posts the patch. I did open tickets for all the spkg updates discussed in the thread opened by William, but I tagged most of those against 2.10. I think that that is a wise choice, since the bugs you know are better than the bugs you don't know by upgrading all those components. So I would suggest that the 2.10 release will focus on spkg upgrades. Ideas? thought? Expect an alpha0 in about 24 hours.
