  * wait a year or so, until SAGE settles some more
  * fix patches in spkg, so that it works both for SAGE and outside of SAGE, get those patches to Debian
  * package those packages, that will not work outside SAGE, in /usr/share/SAGE, or something.
  * try to package the packages in Debian independently so that we have a good knowledge of any policy issue with files shipped in the packages
    * that are non-free but not used in SAGE
    * that are automatically generated but which cannont be build easily

We are aware of the official Debian Alioth project and mailing lists and later we can move things to Alioth if we decide to do so. But the google groups interface is nice and also the "debian-sage" project is not official in Debian (yet), but we already need to coordinate efforts.

 * [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/SciTech/SAGE Fedora Project to include Sage]

== Plan/Status ==

The following items should be done in parallel:

  * redesign spkg-install to handle distribution packages (done for Debian, patch will be in 2.10.2)
  * create Debian packages for spkgs not in Debian (nearly done, sage-*.spkg still missing)
  * use existing packages from testing and track down the debs in testing that cause doctest failures. Resolve those issues
  * Expand the building to non-testing and track down failures in existing debs. Investigate the use of backports.org for those debs

See the team mailinglist for uptodate information on what is happening. Join the Google group debian-sage for discussion. Packagers from other distributions and operating systems are welcome there, too.
