Call for help: RC bugs of SageMath dependencies

[Tobias Hansen <thansen@debian.org>]

Hi Debian Science,

the good news is that in the last months a small team has gathered with
the goal of packaging SageMath for Debian stretch. And we made pretty
good progress. The soft freeze for stretch is coming closer, and we
might have a change to upload the remaining dependencies and SageMath
itself until the beginning of December so that they can pass NEW and
enter testing before the freeze on January 5.

Until then all the dependencies need to be in testing. Unfortunately
some of them have RC bugs that have been open a long time. For SageMath
to enter testing, these need to be fixed before the soft freeze. We are
lacking manpower to work on these while still packaging new
dependencies. If you want to see SageMath in stretch, it would be nice
if you could have a look at the list of RC bugs on
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Sage#Other_packages:
and see if you can help fixing one or two of them.

Thanks!
Tobias
