Hello folks,

I have updated my current OSX 64 bit binary and it can be downloaded
from

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.0.2/sage-sage-3.0.2.a1-64bit-osx-2008-05-27-i386-Darwin.dmg

The reason I did another release is that I got the the notebook to
work by fixing _ctypes in 64 bit mode. It starts up, but I never did
any work, so it might still blow up in your face.

It has shrunk considerably from the last try and now weighs in at
318MB. The last one was 0.5GB and the reduction is size is due to me
merging fixes upstream and consequently deleting various of my spkg
porting trees from $SAGE_ROOT/devel/spkg. After fixing a bunch of
other issues I can now concentrate on my porting work again, so expect
an update before the end of the week. Hopefully then I will have
merged all my fixes upstream so that the next release will be based on
3.0.3.

That being said you should be aware that as is the binary is still
somewhat broken, i.e. about 20+ doctests still fail for various
reasons. So while you can play around with this release it certainly
isn't ready for prime time, but if you care about 64 bit OSX support
it would be great if you could give it a spin and report problems.
There is no point in opening trac tickets yet since I have a list of
things to fix at

http://wiki.sagemath.org/osx64

so please report problems here and I can stick the issues on my for
now internal ToDo list. Should things go as planned [and we know they
never do] Sage 3.0.3 might be pretty close to an "out of the box
compile experience".

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Michael
