My guess is that this will be more difficult than writing new code to read old pickles -- should any of them no longer be supported:)
All old Ubuntu distros are archived and easy to install into virtual box, qemu, vmware, etc., and sage 2.0 will easily build on Ubuntu 8.04 (say). I predict that in 2020 it will be very easy to build sage 2.0 from source, since virtualization is getting even more pervasive. > Andrew > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
