Re: Advice on packaging SAGE
Oy. Top-posting isn't something I expect in Debian lists, even if
Gmail encourages it. ;-)

Hi, I'm also interested in packaging sage.
Cool. I've been meaning for the longest time to package a number of
mathematical pieces of software for Debian, beginning with surf,
Singular's plotting engine, followed by Singular itself, and LiDIA, a
number theory library. Unfortunately, I haven't been very committed,
and I stopped at the first difficulty I found when packaging surf.
As Bernard suggested, a starting point could be packaging those
programs that SAGE use and aren't yet in Debian: Singular, MWRank,
NTL and Linbox, but there could be more.
Heh. I already RFP'ed Singular (#369290) and ITP'ed surf
(#409077). Nice to know there's interest in these packages.
I'm not a Debian Developer, but I would like to help you getting
SAGE into Debian. I like what Neil said, it's a good idea to make an
Alioth team for it with a DD in it. If you decide to make the team,
mail me because I'll want to join it :-)
I kinda wonder what kind of focus such a team would have. Just for
SAGE or for the other pieces of software out there that ought to be
packaged? Octave already has its own team...
PS: Hablas castellano, ¿verdad?
Sí, claro.
