Bug#480091: RFP: genus2reduction -- Conductor and Reduction Types for Genus 2 Curves

[Timothy G Abbott <tabbott@MIT.EDU>]

Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist

* Package name: genus2reduction
* URL: http://sagemath.org
* License: GPL
  Programming Lang: C
* Description: Conductor and Reduction Types for Genus 2 Curves
 Let C be a proper smooth curve of genus 2 defined by a hyperelliptic
 equation
 .
                         y^2+Q(x)y=P(x)
 .
 where P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials with rational coefficients such
 that deg(Q(x))<4, deg(P(x))<7.
 .
 Let J(C) be the Jacobian of C, let X be the minimal regular model of
 C over the ring of integers Z.
 .
 This program determines the reduction of C at any prime number p (that
 is the special fiber X_p of X over p), and the exponent f of the conductor
 of J(C) at p.
 .
 Unfortunately, this program is not yet complete for p=2.


I have a draft packaging available in the apt repository described at
<http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE> that I run for coordinating the
packaging of SAGE for Debian (#455292).

The package is missing a man page, and has some other trivial lintian 
warnings.

Since I don't have the time to maintain all 26 source packages I've
created as part of my effort to package SAGE's dependencies for Debian,
I'm looking for someone to adopt this package and maintain it in Debian.
