Hi, This is an update status from Yue Ren and me on the progress to update Singular to latest version 4.0.x and port it also to 64bit, plus of course remove the obsolete dependencies.
- new additional packages needed by Singular-4.0.x have been built and prepared for both 32 and 64 bit one. 4ti2, cddlib, flint, ntl are available for test at http://matzeri.altervista.org As they are requirements for Singular I will not run a formal ITP but if someone want to check the packages, feel free to do so. - cddlib, flint, ntl are the main one and they passes almost all the tests. I suspect the few failing ones are upstream bugs. 4ti2 has failures only on 64bit versions, we need to verify the discrepancies. - we have built and packaged a preliminary mono-package version of Singular-4.0.2 from latest git. It is functional but the dynamic module functionality seems incomplete. We are investigating how to overcome it. Next actions: - Solution for dynamic module - Improve Singular "make check" some tests are not properly executed. - We need to define the proper sub-package arrangement. Starting next week I will proceed with the upload of the new packages: 4ti2, cddlib, flint, ntl and following the proper Singular packages. Regards Marco
