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/devel/DebianSage)
- PcLinuxOS: http://www.mypclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=1509.msg13532#msg13532
- Mandriva: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/sagemath/
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/

sagemath-5.4 fedora review request
The "package SAGE itself" goal has been reached!
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877651
It is now possible to build sagemath in rawhide, with minor efforts in f18, and there is a private x86_64 f17 repository at: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/sagemath/f17/
You need this in /etc/yum.repos.d http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/sagemath/sagemath-f17.repo
(Note that this backports a very large amount of rawhide packages and will not be maintained once f18 is released)
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 |
---|---|---|
python-flask-autoindex | Flask-AutoIndex | #839097 Missing in f18 |
python-flask-silk | Flask-Silk | #839098 Missing in f18 |
python-flask-babel | Flask-Babel | #839071 Missing in f18 |
Packages that need changes to work with sagemath
Fedora package | Upstream | Request for Enhancement / status |
---|---|---|
python-matplotlib | matplotlib | #837156 Requires |
numpy | scipy | #868585 Requires |
Completed (reviewed and built) required components
Packages for which SAGE is upstream
Latest versions found in http://www.sagemath.org/packages/standard/
- sage
- sage_scripts
- rubiks
- doc
- examples
- extcode
- elliptic_curves, conway_polynomials, graphs, polytopes_db (ZoDB databases used internally by SAGE)
- flintqs (upstream because original upstream deprecated it)
Some of those may or may not be worth packaging as separate SRPMs.
