Diff for "Classify old-style packages"

Differences between revisions 1 and 10 (spanning 9 versions)

This page aims at moving forward in the decision not to rely on old-style packaging system (therefore cleaning up all the Sage code that deals with that).

Packages that still require a decision

optional packages that still need to be classified

Here is the list of old-style optional packages for which it is not clear what to do (ignore, new-style repackage), they must eventually get moved to one of the classified lists.

cluster_seed
extra_docs
java3d
lie
nzmath
ore_algebra # note that the spkg is directly maintained upstream
phc
pycryptoplus

unclassified experimental packages

Here is the list of old-style expermiental packages for which it is not clear whether they can be forgotten.

Since most of those packages are broken anyway, do not move them into some "please repackage me" section (unless you know how to let this happen and open a ticket for that).

asymptote
cadabra
clapack
gnofract4d
gnuplot
graphviz
meataxe
openopt
phcpack
polymake
qasm2circ
quantlib, quantlib_swig
reallib3
sandpile
semigroupe
simpqs
superlu

Classified packages

Optional packages that need to be new-style packaged

Put here the old-style packages from above that are interesting from the Sage perspective, do not put useless stuff here, only those you think are useful.

fes #15209
p_group_cohomology (see discussion at #18514)
patchbot #18937

Packages appearing in Sage documentation

Here is the list of old-style packages which are documented somewhere in Sage as being Sage packages (this is orthogonal to there being a proper Sage interface). If we stop supporting these packages, we should adjust the documentation.

chomp
coxeter3
cunningham_tables
database_jones_numfield
database_kohel
ginv
kash3
macaulay2
mayavi
mpi4py (pip installable)
scitools++
surf

Packages that are easily pip installable (hence can be removed)

Here are the old-style optional/experimental packages that do not need to be repackaged since they are easily installable via pip install command.

beautifulsoup
biopython
brian
guppy
mpi4py
pybtex
pyx
sip
pynifti (superseeded by NiBabel pip-installable package)

Superseeded packages

Here are mathematical packages for which we found another way, hence can be removed.

gnuplotpy # we have our own interface
qhull # we already have two copies coming from the standard packages matplotlib and scipy
numarray # numpy
numeric # numpy
pygsl # we have our own interface
lrs # there is now lrslib

Unrelated packages

Here are non-mathematical packages that are not directly related to Sage and were not needed for a while.
