Hi I am looking for a Debian or Ubuntu packaging mentor.
I am not an experienced debian packager, I am learning everything from scratch. But I am an experienced system administrator. I am hoping to find a mentor familiar with both Debian/Ubuntu and sage to assist me. I am trying to build a deb package for sage. I am doing this on launchpad for Ubuntu using http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html I would not mind getting Sage into Debian first, but found the Ubuntu documentation more accessible and am an Ubuntu user. I am NOT trying to debianize sage fully -- i.e. I do not want to have sage depend on debian/ubuntu versions of all the spkg'es, my goal is just to make Sage easy to install on Ubuntu through a personal package archive, including all sage versions of spkg'es. I have succesfully built sage-4.8 on Ubuntu 12.04 (yes, the development version). However, when running debuild, maxima fails to build: l,-z,relro -L/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/local/lib -Wl,--rpath,/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/local/lib -L/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/local/lib -lecl -lgmp -lgc -ldl -lm make[4]: *** [binary-ecl/maxima] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3/src/src' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3/src' *********************************************************** Error: Failed to build Maxima. *********************************************************** real 4m21.449s user 3m49.458s sys 0m19.189s ************************************************************************ Error installing package maxima-5.23.2.p3 ************************************************************************ Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel) explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file /home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/logs/maxima-5.23.2.p3.log Describe your computer, operating system, etc. If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to /home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3 and type 'make' or whatever is appropriate.
