Currently [http://sagemath.org/ SAGE] is not in Debian, but this team hard at work to make this happen. Started December 30, 2009.

 1. Make a .deb that is "monolithic" and installs the complete sage installation into /opt/sage (say). See http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/

 2. Make any changes to the Sage distribution needed to make
          creating the deb in 1) automatic and maintainable, e.g., make a command "sage
          -deb <version>" that creates the deb and puts it in SAGE_ROOT/dist/.

 3. Add the resulting .deb's to the sagemath.org website.



== Complete Native Debian Packaging of Sage: Status ==

Started in 2008.

As of February 1st, 2009, Sage is in Debian Sid largely to the hard work by Tim Abbott.

{{{
As of today, Sage 3.0.5 is available in Debian sid, so you can now run
"apt-get install sagemath" and get Sage installed on your Debian system.

Now the plan is to upgrade the Sage in Debian to Sage 3.3 once that release is finished in the the first week of February.

== Other ==

We are aware of the official Debian Alioth project and mailing lists and later we can move things to Alioth if we decide to do so. But the google groups interface is nice and also the "debian-sage" project is not official in Debian (yet), but we already need to coordinate efforts.

== Plan/Status ==

The following items should be done in parallel:

  * redesign spkg-install to handle distribution packages (done for Debian, patch will be in 2.10.2)
  * create Debian packages for spkgs not in Debian (nearly done, sage-*.spkg still missing)
  * use existing packages from testing and track down the debs in testing that cause doctest failures. Resolve those issues
  * Expand the building to non-testing and track down failures in existing debs. Investigate the use of backports.org for those debs

See the team mailinglist for uptodate information on what is happening. Join the Google group debian-sage for discussion. Packagers from other distributions and operating systems are welcome there, too.		  * [[http://web.mit.edu/tabbott/www|Tim Abbott]]
