OK, so now now we need a plan of how to proceed, and how to divide up the work between several people. And maybe a separate group (sage-pari?), or is that not necessary? John On 11 April 2010 13:49, Alex Ghitza wrote: > > Oops, this somehow passed completely under my radar... > > On Tue, 30 Mar

It is correct that eclib only uses pari in a very small way (for factoring integers). I am also willing to help upgrade to pari 2.4. Maybe Alex Ghitza would also join in -- he and I worked well together fixing a lot of pari precision issues in 2008. Perhaps this should be coordinated somehow (sa

* Whoever tried last (Nick?), can they summarize some of the issues they encountered. I sent this a few days ago but it got confused, so I'm sending it again: The thing that I remember was that large pieces of the C-interface have changed. Names changed, arguments changed, pieces removed.
