Hi, > However: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/sage seems to indicate that various architecture-specific builds are woefully outdated: "noarch" seems to be on point, but the architecture-specific ones seem stuck on 9.2. Am I reading the info wrong? Obviously I don't want to point people to 9.2 installs.
We used to have separate architecture specific builds, but `sage` is now a meta-package that is architecture neutral (i.e. noarch). So, you get sage-9.8 for all architectures. We support sage-9.8 for the following OS and architecture combinations - linux-x86_64 (glibc>=2.12, most distros after 2010) - linux-aarch64 (glibc>=2.17, most distros after 2014) - macos-x86_64 (macos>=10.9) - macos-arm64 (macos>=11.0) You can have a look at https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/sagelib to see the architecture-specific builds. > Also: if students want to use packages like normaliz, can they install those on binary installs? When I do it on source-built versions, it triggers extensive recompilation. With conda, you can install binary packages for normaliz and thousands of other packages into the same environment as sage.
