== Task description ==

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

== Packages available for alpha testing ==
=== Warning: The Debian packages below currently do not work. ===
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.

The Debian Alioth project has never managed to get off the ground - and in no way could it ever be described as "official". It was started by James !McCaw but the alioth server crashed just a few weeks after some files and notes were uploaded - unfortunately they were all lost and there wasn't a backup. It would be entirely reasonable for this DebianSAGE effort to be seen as the central place to coordinate the efforts for packaging Sage for Debian. James !McCaw, 7 May 2008.
