I'm pleased to announce the availability of a working set of Debian
packages for SAGE 2.10.4. The dependencies of SAGE that are not already
in Debian have their own Debian packages that install into /usr, and the
SAGE package is uses these separately packaged dependencies (SAGE itself
lives in /usr/lib/sagemath). It is now possible to simply "apt-get
install sagemath" once you have my apt repository configured. The
complete process is described at <http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE>.
Because I'm using the Debian versions of many dependencies, some changes
SAGE has made to standard libraries like PARI or GMP will not be included
in this Debian release (the wiki page lists which packages I'm taking from
a source other than Debian upstream). So, there will probably be
reappearances of various old bugs in the Debian packaged version of SAGE.
You should consider these problems to be an opportunity to play "Name That
Bug", since I'm sure many of them will be familiar.
If you want to alpha-test, I have packages available for Debian lenny i386
only in an apt repository. The repository is signed by the following GPG
key:
