For now I think sage should stick with ntl-6.*. Victor (ntl upstream) is |
| 17 |
now on the sage-devel mailing list and is ready to help sage move on. |
| 18 |
Sage and packages used by sage are his main consumer after all. |
| 19 |
But right now no one has started the transistion. |
| 20 |
I think I may make noise for sage 6.7, at the moment we are |
| 21 |
re-organizing some of the code wrapping ntl and it may not be advisable |
| 22 |
to change the version at the same time. |
| 23 |
The following packages also need checking: |
| 24 |
flint |
| 25 |
singular (does 4.* depend on ntl as well) |
| 26 |
eclib |
| 27 |
linbox |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I'll have a look at the one that still belong to the s-o-g overlay. |
