Wow you're fast! I'm running ./sage -t * with 3.0.3 under emulation right 
now and trying a new compile, I intended to post results once they 
completed.

Sorry not to have been in communication, I've just finished my finals and 
would like to pitch in and help. It feels like the port is very close, do 
you intend to submit port files and stay in contact with the freebsd ports 
people to track releases? Writing the Makefile will take a little thought 
w/r/t future compatability.

I was thinking of writing up a linux-sage-math port which would install 
binaries and require the appropriate kernel emulation and base tools, but 
I think the real port is close enough to skip that kind of crutch.

It certainly seems so, with the exception of g/tar (tar -i didn't work, 
i'll make a list of scripts using that option) everything is compiling 
very smoothly. (edit: got as far as ntl)

I've never done this before, but i'll give it a try. From your previous 
email it looks like it should be "[...] as small as possible, i.e. basic 
setup without GUI + dev tools [gcc mostly]."

Do you have any other requirements? A list on the wiki of what every 
minimal testing image should include? And I assume you meant /with/ dev 
tools like gcc, not without?

linking?)
