I also think that the lack of such a ppa was bottleneck number one for adoption of Sage for Ubuntu users. Sysadmin will also appreciate that because it makes it easy to install/uninstall/track ... Do you think this is mature enough for us to use it for the «massive» installation party at the beginning of Sage Days 38 next week? I guess we can plan for something like 20-30 downloads. > I will somewhere over the next year also look at a > sage-from-source package. We have a system administrator here (well, in Montpellier actually) that could be interested in giving a hand. If this is confirmed, would you be willing to share your work with him (in particular giving at some point write access to the ppa)? Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas M.
