One extra thing we could do is have some machines (or virtual machines) running Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, ... and testing that installing the SageMath packages for those distros (PPA and similar) works. We could launch them and interactively test a few basic things such as sage: 1+1 sage: plot(x^2) sage: plot3d(lambda x,y,z: x^2+y^2+z^2) sage: range? and also run automated long tests. Some links related to SageMath in various Linux distros: arch-linux: sagemath package, maintained by Antonio Rojas https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sagemath/ Fedora: sagemath package, owned by Paulo César Pereira de Andrade (pcpa) https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/sagemath https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/SciTech/SAGE RPM package manager: sagemath package http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=sagemath Ubuntu: sagemath ppa, by AIMS-team https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/ubuntu/sagemath Debian: might be worth making a .deb package for SageMath, as this comes up every so often on ask-sage, sage-support, sage-devel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
