Work on Debianization of SAGE, coordinated as described at
<http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE>, has produced (mostly) working
packages for SAGE and its dependencies.
However, I've done almost all of the packaging work for these, and I will
not have time in the forseeable future to maintain these 26 packages in
Debian. So, I've decided to submit RFP bug reports, rather than ITP bugs
reports, for all of these. Anyone interested in maintaining any of these
packages should feel free to adopt them (claim the ITP bug, grab my source
packages, change the maintainer to themselves, their team, or
debian-sage@googlegroups.com, fix any issues with the package they see,
and upload).
I've now submitted RFP bug reports for almost all the various SAGE
dependencies that are not available in Debian, and added them as blocking
the packaging of sagemath (I've not submitted the bugs reports for
flintqs, and linbox-wrap since they may stop existing soon). The bug
reports all contain some commentary on what sorts of issues the individual
packages have that need to be resolved before they can be uploaded into
Debian.
Almost all the packages suffer from the description-contains-homepage and
out-of-date-standards-version lintian warnings; several lack some man
pages. There are also several library issues; I've noted these on the
individual RFP bugs.
I've also marked various bugs in packages already in Debian as blocking
including SAGE in Debian (the last line of block requests above).
