Oops, I got cross-eyed: Sympy is only OK (for Sage) up to version 0.6.6. 0.6.7 in sid will break (note from François Bissey). Scipy in Sage requires this patch: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/changeset/5790 So that's two issues not one. > > It might be helpful to maintain this "list of issues for Sage in Debian" > > so that it can be edited collectively.

Maybe we should trim the CC list to just debian-scie...@l.d.o and debian-s...@googlegroups.com (since I believe that would be preferred by some Sage people who do not want to bother with all of debian-scie...@l.d.o). Would that satisfy everyone on the (overly broad) CC list? -- We are on a spaceship; a beautiful one. It took billions of years to develop. We're not going to get another.
