| In practice, Sage-combinat is a collection of experimental patches (i.e. extensions) on top of [[http://www.sagemath.org/|Sage]], developed by a community of researchers. The intent is that most of those patches get eventually integrated into sage as soon as they are mature enough, with a typical short life-cycle of a few weeks. In other words: just install Sage, and you will benefit from all the Sage-combinat development, except for the latest bleeding edge features. | In practice, Sage-combinat is a collection of experimental patches (i.e. extensions) on top of [[http://www.sagemath.org/|Sage]], developed by a community of researchers.

| == Installation instructions == === Short instructions === 1. To install the experimental patches provided by Sage-combinat, you first need to install Sage. You have two options. * Binary installation (takes less time; only option on Windows; only works if a binary exists for your system): 1. Download a binary distribution from [[http://sagemath.org/download.html]] and follow the installation instructions on that page. * Source installation (recommended, but time-consuming; works for Linux and OSX as long as you have a compilier): 1. Download the source code archive for the latest version [[http://sagemath.org/download-source.html]]. 1. Extract the archive (change the version number appropriately): {{{ tar -xvf sage-4.1.tar }}} 1. Compile (this may take several hours): {{{ cd sage-4.1 make }}} See [[http://sagemath.org/download-source.html]] for more detailed installation instructions. 1. Install Sage-combinat: {{{ ./sage -combinat install }}} === Long instructions === * See the [[http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/MercurialStepByStep|Step by step tutorial]] (in particular, how to '''download Sage-Combinat''') |

Sage-Combinat
Sage-Combinat is a software project whose mission statement is: to improve the open source mathematical system Sage as an extensible toolbox for computer exploration in algebraic combinatorics, and foster code sharing between researchers in this area.
In practice, Sage-combinat is a collection of experimental patches (i.e. extensions) on top of Sage, developed by a community of researchers. The intent is that most of those patches get eventually integrated into Sage as soon as they are mature enough, with a typical short life-cycle of a few weeks. In other words: just install Sage, and you will benefit from all the Sage-combinat development, except for the latest bleeding edge features.

- 2008-06-19: MuPAD-Combinat join forces with Sage
Sage-combinat was born as a partial port of MuPAD-Combinat. After months of discussions and experiments, an enthusiastic consensus emerged in the MuPAD-Combinat community to join Sage. Sage-combinat henceforth became the natural successor of MuPAD-Combinat.
- The transition is a massive investment: seven years of hard work to port over! However a lot of experience was gained since 2000, and most of the design is now pretty clear. By sharing the work the transition will hopefuly be relatively quick.
Who are we?
How to participate and contribute
Communication
- Join our mailing lists:
- Announcement mailing list (to come)
sage-combinat-devel: Developers' mailing list
sage-combinat-commits: A low traffic mailing list which receives an automatic notice whenever a sage-combinat related ticket is modified (and eventually whenever a commit is done on the patch server).
sage-combinat-days: Mailing list for the organisation of Sage-Combinat days
Check the road map and current status
Post bug reports, suggestions, patches on the Sage-Combinat trac server or on the mailing list.
- Cite Sage-Combinat when you use it for research publications (TODO: provide a standard citation here).
Code
The collection of patches is managed using a patch server (mercurial queues). Use it to try out the latest experimental features, or contribute your own patches! (You may still need to access to the old patch server)
Browse the Sage sources with the Sage-combinat patches applied
Please read the Step by step tutorial (in particular, how to download Sage-Combinat)
For the curious: Technical background on the Sage-Combinat patch server (messy).
For hg/mercurial lovers: Mercurial: The Definite Guide an e-book by Bryan O'Sullivan
Mercurial server for miscelleanous files and documents
To check them out, use hg clone http://combinat.sagemath.org/misc/ Sage-Combinat-misc-file. This will create a subdirectory Sage-Combinat-misc-file in the current directory; you can use any other name for this subdirectory.
Design
Have a look and participate to design discussions.
Contribute to the list of quirks and weirdness issues in the *-Combinat design.
