Hi! I thought that a website comparing the versions of all SAGE related packages with the versions in Debian would be very helpful, so I took Frédéric Péters' script which generates such pages for GNOME and modified it a bit to do the same for SAGE. (BTW, nice work Frédéric! I always liked the GNOME status pages a lot.) The result is this status page [1] which is updated once an hour. If the Debian package is up-to-date, the Debian version that is shown is the first up-to-date version, looking first in testing, then unstable and then in experimental. For cases where the Debian source package name does not match the spkg name, a mapping between the two names has to be defined in the script, so let me know if something is wrong or when a new package that needs a mapping is uploaded to Debian. If you have any other suggestions, also let me know. Is there a list of dependencies for a given SAGE version? Right now this only shows what SAGE is using now, not if the minimal requirements for a given SAGE version are met. If Debian has a lower version of something, we don't know if that's fine or it has to be updated to work with SAGE properly. Let me also include a link to [2], a Wiki page for coordinating the SAGE in Debian effort. Ok, so let's get rid of the red and grey parts in the "standard" section! Best regards, Tobias Hansen [1] http://people.debian.org/~thansen/debian-sage-status.html [2] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Sage
