1 Hi all,
2
3 so sage-4.4 is coming soon. If we stick to our plans sage-4.4 will
4 leave /opt to join other non-binary packages under /usr.
5 * we have completely split sage... this means we don't rely anymore on
6 sage build system in any way.
7 * thanks to contribution of Steve Trogdon we have identified a number of
8 issues on amd64 and some with a larger scope.
9
10 * for those of you living on ~arch and are getting headaches because
11 you cannot update python to version 2.6.5, I have committed a patched
12 python-2.6.5 to the overlay. This is not supported by the sage devs so
13 there may be problems.
14
15 *Steve found an issue with matplotlib. If you are using matplotlib with gtk
16 enabled _and_ the proprietary nvidia drivers sage can break.
17
18 *two people have come forward with a problem related to the way sage
19 is interacting with gap. If you have that kind of problem please tell us
20 as we would really like to figure out the cause of the problem and the two
21 cases we have are not enough.
