Hi I took an hour to put up a new PPA which attempts to trivially run make and so to build a sagemath-monolithic from source on the Launchpad platform:
https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/sagemath/+packages Builds failed: https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/sagemath/+build/3651139 https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/sagemath/+build/3651140 One can get the source from the ppa:aims/sagemath with apt-get source sagemath-monolithic. Do note there is an existing bug if you run apt-add-repository more than once: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1018327 Now supposedly after adding enough override_dh_* to the debian/rules file, there will be a working sagemath-monoliticm, which gives us a buildfarm for all supported architectures and all supported Ubuntu releases. It will also potentially aid the debianization project. If there is sufficient community interest, this can move to a separate PPA and to UDD rather than traditional development. In the meantime people can suggest I make changes, send me patches, or ask for access to the existing PPA, until this becomes too much for me to manage.
