[sage-devel] Re: upgrade of ECL and Maxima
Sorry to be replying to my own post, but in case you need more arguments supporting (a) above, note that upgrading the spkg's solves the issues listed at tickets #780, #3718, #6165, #6420, and #6423. And it makes #3587 look much better. Great work getting the new Maxima in! - kcrisman --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

After a long time, I can finally compile maxima on my laptop (linux on ppc g4).

There are several reasons to want these upgrades: (a) the current Maxima in Sage is 5.16.3, which is basically one year old; (b) the current ECL and Maxima do not build on Solaris, whereas the upgraded versions do. I believe that we sorted out all the problems coming up in upgrading the spkg's, and it would be great if someone could review these. The relevant tickets are http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6564http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6699 Here are the steps involved in trying this out: 1. sage -fhttp://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/ecl-9.8.4.spkg 2. sage -fhttp://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/maxima-5.19.1.p0.spkg 3. apply the patch maxima_doctests.patch from ticket 6699 4. enjoy!

Is the upgraded packages the only thing that prevent this before?

Best, Alex I'm having problems with that patch. Any attempt to download it on my system gives me a file with a load of html in it. Could you post a link to the patch file, and instructions with the command to use and directory to be in when its run. dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

That's because you're getting the html-formatted version of it instead of the raw (plain text) one. See below: Could you post a link to the patch file, and instructions with the command to use and directory to be in when its run. There are several ways to do this. I personally prefer using Mercurial queues, see http://wiki.sagemath.org/MercurialQueues for a crash course. Follow what that page says until the point where you have done hg qinit. Then, for this particular patch, you would do hg qimport http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6699/maxima_doctests.patch hg qpush ../../sage -b At this point you have merged the patch and rebuilt the Sage library. You can now run tests, etc. If you want to also check out what the modifications to the documentation look like, you have to use sage -docbuild to rebuild the various things (tutorial, constructions, reference manual, etc.) When you are done with looking at the patch and want to get rid of it, you just need to do hg qpop ../../sage -b and your Sage is back in its original shape.
