Currently SAGE is not in Debian yet. This team wants 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.

To check the status of Sage and its dependencies in Debian, you can look at [[http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=tabbott%40mit.edu|Tim Abbott's Debian QA page]]

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. (Please add yourself below, if you want to help)

== Plan ==

The following items should be done in parallel:

  * wait a year or so, until SAGE settles some more
  * fix patches in spkg, so that it works both for SAGE and outside of SAGE; get those patches to Debian
  * package those packages that will not work outside SAGE in /usr/share/SAGE, or something.
  * try to package the packages in Debian independently so that we have a good knowledge of any policy issue with files shipped in the packages
    * that are non-free but not used in SAGE
    * that are automatically generated but which cannot be built easily 		 * [[http://web.mit.edu/tabbott/www|Tim Abbott]]
