== Packages available for pre-alpha testing ==
The Debian packages for SAGE are available for pre-alpha testing. You can install them as follows:
{{{
echo "deb http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sage.list
echo "deb-src http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sage.list
wget http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt/sage-archive.asc
apt-key add sage-archive.asc
aptitude update
aptitude install sagemath
}}}
Note that this repository is a pre-alpha repository and there are no guarantees that packages won't change without their version numbers being bumped (etc.).

 * (in the sagemath package itself): polybori, sage itself
 * (updated versions of the packages in Debian) zodb3, matplotlib
 * For any other dependency of SAGE, we are currently using the version in Debian upstream

Debian SAGE Packaging Team (DSPT)

Task description

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

Packages available for pre-alpha testing

The Debian packages for SAGE are available for pre-alpha testing. You can install them as follows: 

echo "deb http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sage.list
echo "deb-src http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sage.list
wget http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt/sage-archive.asc
apt-key add sage-archive.asc
aptitude update
aptitude install sagemath

Note that this repository is a pre-alpha repository and there are no guarantees that packages won't change without their version numbers being bumped (etc.).

SAGE spkgs now packaged for Debian

  • cddlib, eclib, flint, flintqs, libfplll, genus2reduction, gfan, givaro, iml, lcalc, libm4ri, linbox, ntl, palp, singular, symmetrica, sympow, tachyon, rubiks
  • (in the sagemath package itself): polybori, sage itself
  • (updated versions of the packages in Debian) zodb3, matplotlib
  • For any other dependency of SAGE, we are currently using the version in Debian upstream

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.
