[sage-devel] What happens when a system package gets updated ?

2020-08-30 Thread Emmanuel Charpentier
I got mugged by a system’s (i.e. Debian testing) upgrade of libflint, going from 2.5.2 to 2.5.3. In Debian, libflint was libflint-2.5.2, with no “version independent” symlink libflint (nor even libflint-2.5). sage was linked “hard” against libflint-2.5.2. Therefore, Sage crashed at start for

Are those tickets that are closed now going to be in 9.2? If so I could write something about Lie conformal algebras. Depending on how long for the next release I don't think there's going to be time to review the vertex algebra ticket so perhaps this is the time to add something about LCAs Bes

Good morning, I see that support for Python 3.8.x is about to be merged in #27754. I want to add a parallel computation ticket and I was wandering if I could use multiprocessing.parent_process() which is only available starting with 3.8. What's the minimal Python version that Sage has to accept,
