Bug#844562: ITP: sagemath -- SageMath: Open Source Mathematical Software
Package: wnpp
Owner: Tobias Hansen <thansen@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : sagemath
Version : 7.4
Upstream Author : William Stein <wstein@gmail.com>
* URL : http://www.sagemath.org/
* License : GPL
Programming Lang: Python, C, C++, Cython
Description : SageMath: Open Source Mathematical Software
SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed
under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages:
NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more.
Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or
directly via interfaces or wrappers.
Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple,
Mathematica and Matlab.
Packaging SageMath for Debian is a large project and we are on a tight
schedule, trying to upload it in time for stretch. We still could need
help with fixing RC bugs of dependencies of SageMath (to make sure
everything migrates to testing before the soft freeze). Also, some of
the remaining components we are packaging have javascript dependencies
that need to be packaged. If you want to help out with one of these or
other things, see the list of tasks on [1] or drop by on our mailing
list [2].
