Hi, Regarding third-party packaging, etc., what's the status of the Sage Ubuntu PPA from AIMS?
Because of SageMathCloud I regularly (try to) install a lot of big complicated scientific software in other areas (not pure math), that are in many ways similar to Sage. In many cases there is an Ubuntu PPA -- that seems to be quite standard. So another question is: are we doing enough to support the Sage Ubuntu PPA?
