Diff for "Classify old-style packages"

Differences between revisions 4 and 42 (spanning 38 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). See http://files.sagemath.org/spkg/index.html for the packages.

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.

extra_docs
java3d
nzmath
pycryptoplus
pyx

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
dvipng
gnofract4d
gnuplot
graphviz
openopt
phcpack
qasm2circ
quantlib, quantlib_swig
reallib3
sandpile
semigroupe
simpqs
superlu

unclassified non-mathematical packages

Here are non-mathematical packages that are not directly related to Sage.

Classified packages

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.

chomp #15202
fes #15209
p_group_cohomology (see discussion at #18514)

Packages that have a Sage interface, so these are likely of interest:

cunningham_tables
ginv
kash3
macaulay2
phc
polytopes_db_4d

packages appearing in Sage documentation

Here is the list of old-style packages which appear in the Numerical Computing tutorial, see also #19198:

mayavi
openmpi
python-2.5.1-framework #3924
PyVTK
scitools++
VTK (archived package!)

Superseded packages

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

gd # renamed to libgd
gdmodule # no longer needed
genus2reduction # superseded by PARI
gnuplotpy # we have our own interface
numarray # numpy
numeric # numpy
pil # replaced by pillow
pygsl # we have our own interface
lrs # there is now lrslib

Superseded packages with no replacement yet

This is installable via pip, but it is also outdated:

pynifti (superseded by NiBabel pip-installable package)

== 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.

 * p_group_cohomology
 * patchbot
 * qepcad (was experimental, but can become optional new-style with #10224
  (needs review))


=== 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.
