== Packages available for alpha testing ==
The Debian packages for SAGE are available for 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
}}}

== 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.

 * [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/SciTech/SAGE Fedora Project to include Sage]

== Plan/Status ==

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.

'''The plan below is largely outdated, but remains here for historical reasons for now:'''

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
An initial effort to port Sage to Debian took place in 2007--2009.
