SAGE Bug Squash Day 4

The event will take place on SATURDAY, October 20 and officially start at 10 am pacific standard time. It will "officially" go nonstop for 10 hours (until 8pm) and some people will usually meet the day after and finish up some of the leftovers.

Remember the "Twisted Rule" -- Don't work on anything unless there is a trac ticket for it.

• [:bug4/status: STATUS]
• [:bug4/irc: IRC log]
• [:bug4/Results: Results]
• The base version of SAGE we'll start with is here: sage-2.8.7, which you can upgrade to using "sage -upgrade", plus you should do

sage: hg_sage.pull(); hg_sage.merge(); hg_sage.ci(); hg_sage.update()
sage: hg_doc.pull(); hg_doc.merge(); hg_doc.ci(); hg_doc.update()
sage: hg_scripts.pull(); hg_scripts.merge(); hg_scripts.ci(); hg_scripts.update()

• followed by sage -br, to build all the latest patches. Alternatively, you can start with 2.8.7.1 here:

http://sage.math.washington.edu/tmp/

And I'll be posting a tar'd prebuilt version there too for sage.math.

• The trac server with all the bugs is here:

  • http://trac.sagemath.org

• Write to [email protected] for an account on the bug tracker.

• We'll all be on #sage-devel at irc.freenode.net.

From Linux you can chat via a text console by installing "irssi", running it, and typing 
  /SERVER add irc.freenode.net 
  /SERVER irc.freenode.net
  /join #sage-devel
