SIGs/SciTech/SAGE: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:02, 27 July 2009

This is to help document the process to get SAGE (http://sagemath.org/), the open-source computer algebra/mathematics framework into Fedora.

Fedora and other community efforts

People interested helping in packaging/reviewing:

Cross-distribution efforts:

Debian: Tim Abbott's list of SAGE-related Debian packages. Some of these Debian packages may include some patches for the dependencies that may be required for SAGE that have not yet been pushed upstream (older unmaintained wiki page http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE)
PcLinuxOS: http://www.mypclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=1509.msg13532#msg13532

On fedora-devel KevinKofler points out that:

One problem will be that they're bundling many third-party components which should
be packaged separately:

http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/doc/html/inst/intro.html

So the first step is to track down which of these dependencies are in Fedora
already, whether they need any patches to work with SAGE, whether they are
build-time (BuildRequires) dependencies, run-time (Requires) dependencies or
both, whether they're required or optional and package those which are not in
Fedora yet.

He suggests the following order:

package required build-time dependencies
package required run-time dependencies
package as many optional build-time dependencies as possible
package SAGE itself
package optional run-time dependencies (and decide on a case by case basis whether it makes sense to add them as actual Requires: dependencies to the package or not)

Required components that SAGE ships with: http://sagemath.org/packages/standard/

Optional components that SAGE ships with: http://sagemath.org/packages/optional/

(a manual list with descriptions which may vary somewhat with respect to the above is at http://sagemath.org/links-components.html) (See also: http://wiki.sagemath.org/days6/sprint/debian)

Dependencies (for which there is a separate upstream)

Missing required components

(If you are working on packaging a component or have filed a review request bug, please note it or link to something here.)

Fedora package	Upstream	Review request / status
	G95	Not needed, we can use gcc-gfortran instead. ^[1]
	GAP	This is large (they claim you need 500M of disk) (There's this src rpm. -- Abo 14:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC))
[1]	GHMM	Review Request
[2]	Givaro	Review Request
	JsMath
[3]	Linbox	Review Request
[4]	pynac	Review Request
[5]	python-zdaemon	Review Request
[6]	python-ZODB3	Review Request
[7]	python-zope-proxy	Review Request
	Singular	I (konradm) started working on this but haven't gotten very far. (There's a a package in Mandriva to start from. -- Abo 14:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC))

Packages for which SAGE is upstream

Latest versions found in http://www.sagemath.org/packages/standard/

sage
sage_scripts
rubiks
doc
eclib
examples
extcode
elliptic_curves, conway_polynomials, graphs, polytopes_db (ZoDB databases used internally by SAGE)
flintqs (upstream because original upstream deprecated it)

References

↑ From upstream's readme.txt: "If you're using Fortran on a platform without g95 binaries included with Sage, e.g., Itanium, you must use a system-wide gfortran.". So they support gfortran and even system-wide installations of it.
