[sage-devel] Re: Singular and Symmetric don't build on Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10)

2011-10-14 Thread john.hoebing
Actually the latest sage-4.7.2.alpha4 no longer needs either the '-lm' fix or the swapped symmetrica package; they've both been fixed and build fine. Good job from the sage build gurus! The one remaining problem for some of us is the 'readline' error during the 'R' build; its kinda fixable by doi

Yes, I probably should have said that the spirit of sage is in sync with the spirit of this manifesto. One of the founding principles of sage is that one should be able to check the code to verify claims by authors, and the manifesto addresses that same issue. Were the manifesto to be generally e

[sage-devel] New PARI (#11130) still needs review

I would really like to finally finish the PARI upgrade in order to merge it in sage-4.7.3.alpha0. There are still two tickets which need review for the new PARI: * #11130: Update PARI to version 2.5.0. Almost everything here has positive review, only the very trivial patch 11130-4.7.2.alpha3.pat

[sage-devel] Re: Science Code Manifesto

2011-10-14 Thread Maarten Derickx
The manifesto seems not to adress computer algebra systems since it is about code written specifically for processing data for a published paper. Since the code in sage is intended for use by multiple scientist and not for a specific paper it seems not really legit to discuss how well sage fits
