Hi all, |

A few items about what's happening or not in sage-on-gentoo. |
4 |
|
5 |
-First as Denis said please do come and discuss your problems |
6 |
here! It will get a bit more exposure than sending an email to |
7 |
Christopher or me (even if eventually we tell each other about it). |

-The notebook (aka web interface) is currently broken we haven't |
10 |
figured out why yet. Downgrading twisted to version 8.x doesn't |
11 |
solve the problem. We may have to test the previous version to see |
12 |
if that works - may need to touch sage's ebuild to allow it - if |
13 |
anyone is adventurous enough I'd be grateful for the testing. |
14 |
While the notebook is broken the cli and cantor (kde-base/cantor) |
15 |
works. |

-Christopher has exams coming in the next 2 weeks. Be gentle. |
18 |

-Until recently we had mpir in the overlay (both science and sage-on-gentoo) |
20 |
but we weren't actually using it. sage ship mpir and install it in gmp |
21 |
compatibility mode - that is it provides gmp.h and libgmp and sage packages |
22 |
links against these instead of mpir directly. No porting to use mpir natively |
23 |
has been done in sage. |
24 |
Therefore while we were shipping mpir, gmp was actually used. |
25 |
Recently I have updated sage-clib to use mpir, so far it seems to be working. |
26 |
I have introduced a mpir use flag and ported a few ebuilds to mpir. Beware that |
27 |
it is a work in progress and enabling the useflag may cause breakage of sage |
28 |
and may be other apps. Testing welcome nonetheless. |

That it for now. |
