Hi there,
while conversing with Hans Schönemann about GCC 4.3 support for Singular the
topic of shipping CVS code of Singular came up. The CVS version of Singular
has experimental (and thus possibly broken) support for Gröbner bases over
rings (Z, Z/n).
Basically, we have the okay from Hans to ship this version iff we make it
perfectly clear that this stuff is experimental.
Also, the implementation is still considered too slow by the Singular team.
However, as there was pretty strong demand for this on this list several times
I could try to provide an experimental singular-cvs SPKG + wrapper for those
interested to play around. The gathered feedback/excitement could help to
improve the implementation or maybe somebody wants to even jump in and help
out.
If we want this, then I propose the following:
* Get the okay from Oliver Wienand the main author of the code. I think
Oliver is reading this list.
* I try to provide an SPKG based on the most current Singular checkout + a
wrapper (maybe only via pexpect for now)
* Whenever someone tries to use the code we print a big fat warning that this
is alpha code.
Thoughts?
Martin
