Debian release to support

sbuild: lenny x86-64: can create 32 & 64 bit arch specific packages, 14 in total:

• Untuntu LTS
• last two ubuntu releases

• >=etch

Make check

• use schroot to run "make check"

Problematic Packages

• ATLAS (atlas-sage-x.y or version bump)
• Python (python-sage-x.y or version bump)
• jmol - potential conflict with gcj in stable (testing an above fine)
• Maxima: copies mgnuplot script to libexec (Maxima is already in Debian)

Changelog

• needs to be kept in sync with SPKG.txt (automated mechanism)
• dch (Debian changelog)

Initially

• webserver for static only content
• set up apt-get repo on $SAGE.MATH
• To set up repo: reprpro + gpg key for signing
• domain: mabye "debian.sagemath.org"

Problem to be solved

• Install location: /usr/share/sage/ - "sage" script in bin does cd and
  • then execute the appropriate sage scipt in /usr/share/sage/

• location of tmp, i.e. TMP, /tmp or /var/tmp, not SAGE_ROOT/tmp

• SAGE_ROOT/ipython - why is it there. What is the content (config files?)

• databases in $SAGE_ROOT/data -> /use/share/sage/data

• spkg directory: gone or moved to sage-dev.deb
• make distclean: remove "*.c", "*.so", "*.os" in /devel/sage/
• content of examples directory: What to do with the code?

• LIB -> lib - Singular related, move to lib/Singular

• text files from $SAGE_ROOT: /usr/share/doc/sage

Package names

• libraries (for example NTL):
  • ntl.dsc (the source source package), tarball with debian directory
  • libntl0_5.4.deb (initial NTL version, i.e. "0", contains shared library)

  • libntl-dev.deb (headers & static libraries)

• binary (eclib)
  • eclib.deb (binaries)
  • libec0.deb (shared libraries)

  • libec-dev.deb (headers & static libraries)

• Singular
  • To be determined
