Several branches needing review and merging fine get an "ApplyFailed" ticket by patchbot runners (many thanks for the service BTW). This is due to https://github.com/robertwb/sage-patchbot/issues/10 where there are workarounds. So please if you run a patchbot check your logs (e.g. debian/jessi

The groups are isomorphic: sage: K. = NumberField(x^4 - 2) sage: G1 = K.galois_group(names='bbb') sage: G2 = K.galois_group(type="gap",names='bbb').group() sage: G1.is_isomorphic(G2) True but sage: K.galois_closure(names="ccc") Number Field in ccc with defining polynomial x^8 + 28*x^4 + 2500 So

[sage-devel] a bug in NumberField().galois_group?

2014-04-27 Thread Dima Pasechnik
It appears that NumberField().galois_group() does not always compute with the Galois closure of the field, although the doc says: "Return the Galois group of the Galois closure of this number field". sage: K. = NumberField(x^4 - 2) sage: K.galois_group(names='bbb').degree() 8 sage: K.galois_group(

I guess that #16187 broke it (the beautification of "sage -optional"). By the way, optional_packages() parses the output of "sage -optional" (!). And it isn't doctested. The only surprise should be that it took this long to break. Finally, it is fundamentally unsound to modify shared libraries

Hi, I installed the sage-6.2.rc0 [1] that Volker posted a few days ago. However, the in-Sage commands install_package, optional_packages, etc., are now broken. Any ideas what is going on? More precisely: sage: v = optional_packages() ... Type 'sage -i package_name' to download and ins

This is strange. Two of my earlier messages got deleted. Does anyone know why? Perhaps because I only wrote the URL to the ticket? Getting back to the question, this was fixed two years ago and is awaiting a review. See #13422 On Sunday, April 27, 2014 6:17:00 AM UTC+8, Michael Orlitzky wrote:
