SageMath packaging status update
Hi Debian Science,
I thought I'd give you an update about the packaging of SageMath in Debian.
Since the last update we have improved our methods quite a bit. We now
have a mini-dinstall (our own little APT repository) which allows us to
always have a set of packages available that makes it possible to build
SageMath. We have an up-to-date SageMath (7.3) that can be built using
Debian packages to fulfill most dependencies. One can run the test
suite, but we didn't create an installable package yet.
We are currently working on packaging the last small dependencies and
making the tests pass. Help is always welcome, it would be awesome if we
could manage to ship SageMath in Stretch. More details can be found on
the Wiki page [1].
Since today we also have our own mailing list to discuss issues
regarding SageMath packaging. [2]
Best,
Tobias
