The first bunch of SAGE dependencies entered the Debian NEW queue (the
queue of packages waiting for review from the Debian ftpmasters before
they are uploaded to Debian unstable) tonight; by tomorrow I expect that
that the remaining SAGE dependencies will enter the Debian NEW queue.
I am thus currently optimistic that we will be able to get SAGE 3.0.3 or
3.0.4 into Debian Lenny.
There are a few potential issues involved:
- The Debian polybori package is polybori 0.4, which includes a number of
upstream fixes that made packaging it for Debian easier. SAGE is still at
0.3; I would thus greatly appreciate it if SAGE 3.03 were to be using
polybori 0.4 as well (this is #3264).
- I've also packaged guava 3.5, which contains a number of upstream fixes
to various minor packaging problems. I would really appreciate it if SAGE
were to upgrade to guava 3.5 so that I can be sure things will be
compatible (this is #3337).
- I've also packaged sympow 1.019 rather than sympow 1.018; that change is
negligible and doesn't affect any APIs, so I'm not concerned about this
breaking things.
- At the moment, I have not uploaded a package for flintqs, because it is
my understanding that the flintqs spkg will be replaced by the quadratic
sieve in flint in the not-far-off future. Correct me if this is not the
case. (Ideally, SAGE would do this before but I can live with this not
being the case).
- At the moment, I have not uploaded a package for linbox_wrap because I
expect it to be merged into mainline linbox in the next 10 days or so.
If there are likely to be any other dependency spkgs that are scheduled
for updates in the 3.0.3 or 3.0.4 release cycles, I would like to hear
about them so that I can plan accordingly.
