It seem strange we are only checking about 20% of the packages, even
if SAGE_CHECK is yes.

MPIR, MPFR and now Python (once #9295 is committed) are all covered. I'd
like to know what else is pretty critical. I guess Cython must one be
one such package, but what else?


Matplotlib would be a good package to run tests on.

OK, that is one to address. I don't know if it has a test suite or not.

If maxima has a test
suite, that would seem pretty important to run too.

I know Maxima has a test suite, and furthermore it will fail to pass all tests, which the Maxima people say is to to some of the floating point values in ECL being one bit off. (There is unfortunately some bad feeling between the ECL and Maxima camps, which probably does not help get the issue resolved).

I don't however know one could invoke the maxima test suite in Sage, since it is not run by using "make test" or "make check" but instead by starting maxima and running a specific maxima command (I forget what it is).

Thanks,

Jason
