There are two factors here: 1) libcsage is gone in the upcoming sage 6.8. 2) I bit the bullet and used the pari git snapshot used in sage for sage-on-gentoo.
This was not a light decision. I looked at the packages depending of pari and I found they were in two class: a) packages using an outdated (pari 2.3) interface to pari. Those are clisp and perl binding to pari. For those if you want to use pari you would have to provide an outdated version for their use. b) all the other packages I knew to be depending on pari are in sage. They will compile and work with the pari provided by sage, if sometimes with patches (lcalc for example). I don’t know any other packages depending on pari in Gentoo, I don’t know the situation in fedora but I suspect it will be similar.
