Bug#833621: RFS: libgap-sage/4.8.3+ds-1 [ITP] -- GAP kernel as a C shared library

[Jerome Benoit <calculus@rezozer.net>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear Sponsors,

	I am looking for sponsorship for the Debian package libgap-sage [1]: this
	package brings to Debian libGAP, a C interleave library that permits to
	play with GAP within C/C++/Cython code. As you already guessed, LibGAP
	is used by the Sage[Math], a Computer Algebra System (CAS) that superseeds
	the Singular and GAP CAS among a myriad of mathematical packages.
	This Debian package is meant for the experimental distribution because
	the upstream package was designed for the former GAP version 4r8p3
	while the current GAP version 4r8p4 is already present in Sid and Stretch.
	libgap-sage is part of the Sage[Math] packaging effort.

Thanks in advance,
Jerome
