I don't know if sage runs with 2.3 (and I can hardly check since sage 5.0 doesn't compile here because of gcc 4.7). Notice that sage has both flint (1.5.2) and flintqs, which is a "quadratic sieve" program based on flint, which according to http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11792 is now found in flint itself, and should probably be packaged in the same src:flint package in debian. I compiled flint 2.3 on my X86_64 box and ran all tests this morning ; my ARM box managed to compile it but fails some tests (and is still running them). I have those problems to report upstream, so I'll probably use the occasion to ask if they think this flint (which is a rewrite) is ready to replace the one in sage. I'll report here later. > > > - packaged mpir (debian-science git) > > Good ; when will it go in unstable? > > not working on it right now (see above). maybe somebody else has a use > for it?

Ah, yes, the environment variables.

Well, there are two good reasons to package at least 0.8.1 : - that's what sage 5.0 has ; - according to http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12655, that is the first version which doesn't make gcc 4.7 choke, and gcc 4.7 is what I have on my unstable :-) > > > - singular is half way done (debian-science git) > > > > Yes, Bernhard(brl) pointed me to it to try, but it doesn't compile > > here -- I reported him the result already. > Cc me, i might be able to fix the simple things.

Well, since they supposedly (according to the explicit deps) only use boost for polybori, I hope everything will just be alright too.
