Currently [http://sagemath.org/ Sage] is not in Debian, but this team is hard at work to make this happen.

== Packages available for alpha testing ==
The Debian packages for Sage are available for alpha testing. You can install them as follows:
{{{
echo "deb http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sage.list
echo "deb-src http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sage.list
wget http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt/sage-archive.asc
apt-key add sage-archive.asc
aptitude update
aptitude install sagemath
}}}

== Sage spkgs now packaged for Debian in our repository ==

 * cddlib, eclib, flint, flintqs, libfplll, genus2reduction, gfan, givaro, iml, lcalc, libm4ri, linbox, ntl, palp, singular, symmetrica, sympow, tachyon, rubiks, zn_poly, polybori
 * (in the sagemath package itself): jmol, sage itself
 * (updated versions of the packages in Debian) zodb3, mpfi, gmp-ecm, cython
 * For any other dependency of Sage, we are currently using the version in Debian upstream

== Status of getting packages for Sage dependencies into Debian upstream ==

 * RFP bug reports have been submitted for the Sage dependencies not yet in Debian -- see the bugs blocking <http://bugs.debian.org/455292> to view the current status.
 * Feel free to adopt one or more of these packages that you're interested in maintaining.		 Currently [http://sagemath.org/ Sage] is not in Debian. However, Sage 3.0.5 should be entering Debian unstable anytime now. To check the status of Sage and its dependencies in Debian, you can look at [http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=tabbott%40mit.edu Tim Abbott's Debian QA page]

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.

The Debian Alioth project has never managed to get off the ground - and in no way could it ever be described as "official". It was started by James !McCaw but the alioth server crashed just a few weeks after some files and notes were uploaded - unfortunately they were all lost and there wasn't a backup. It would be entirely reasonable for this DebianSAGE effort to be seen as the central place to coordinate the efforts for packaging Sage for Debian. James !McCaw, 7 May 2008.

== Plan/Status ==

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.		  * [http://pc150-196.sph.unimelb.edu.au/~jamesm James McCaw]
