Hi, +1 from me for removing Sage packages that don’t have good maintenance.
I’m perhaps viewed as ultimately responsible in some way for these (at least the infrastructure where they sit), and definitely be happier if we don’t distribute anything that we don’t really, really have to. And for Python packages, we should *always* prefer pip to hosting ourselves. If the package isn’t hosted on Pypi, it’s even easier to add it ourselves to Pypi than to host it ourselves. — William On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 10:34 AM Dima Pasechnik <dimp...@gmail.com> wrote: > In fact, libogg and libtheora are sort of frozen; this > https://git.xiph.org/?p=theora.git > looks quite low-activity, too. > > > On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 4:54:20 PM UTC+1, Thierry > (sage-googlesucks@xxx) wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> if we are sure that libtheora is of no use, why not just removing it ? >> The >> goal of Sage, even Sage-the-distribution, is not to distribute as much as >> possible (note that there are currently 265 packages). >> >> Same question for libogg. >> >> See also the thread about "useless" packages with 'pip' type, see >> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/sage-devel/oDJS-7R0qzE >> >> Ciao, >> Thierry >> >> >> >> On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 07:30:38AM -0700, Dima Pasechnik wrote: >> > fails on semi-current gentoo: >> > >> > [libtheora-1.1.1] libtool: link: gcc -Wall -Wno-parentheses -O3 >> > -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -funroll-loops >> > -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/dima/Sage/sage-dev/local/lib -o .libs/png2theora >> > png2theora-png2theora.o -L/home/dima/Sage/sage-dev/local/lib >> > ../lib/.libs/libtheoraenc.so ../lib/.libs/libtheoradec.so -logg -lpng16 >> -lm >> > -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/dima/Sage/sage-dev/local/lib >> > [libtheora-1.1.1] png2theora-png2theora.o: In function `png_read': >> > [libtheora-1.1.1] png2theora.c:(.text+0x26d): undefined reference to >> > `png_sizeof' >> > [libtheora-1.1.1] png2theora.c:(.text+0x290): undefined reference to >> > `png_sizeof' >> > [libtheora-1.1.1] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status >> > [libtheora-1.1.1] make[4]: *** [Makefile:291: png2theora] Error 1 >> > >> > Yes, downgrading - unless the author is willing to fix it... >> > >> > >> > On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 2:15:36 PM UTC+1, Maarten Derickx >> wrote: >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > On Tuesday, 19 September 2017 15:07:23 UTC+2, vdelecroix wrote: >> > >> >> > >> On 19/09/2017 14:22, Maarten Derickx wrote: >> > >> >> > >> > Currently the optional package libtheora fails to install: see >> > >> > https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/23732 for details. >> > >> >> > >> Actually, I also had troubles on Ubuntu 64 bits (based on debian). >> > >> >> > >> >> > > From a logical point of view it should actually fail on any operating >> > > system where one builds sage from source.
