Revision as of 20:43, 25 June 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:
- Rex Dieter
- Alex Lancaster
- Manuel Wolfshant
- Kevin Kofler
- Neal Becker

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) | |
| [1] | GHMM | Review Request |
| [2] | Givaro | Review Request |
| JsMath | ||
| [3] | Linbox | Review Request |

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