Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
after a protracted release cycle (especially towards the end) |
4 |
sage 6.6 is finally out. |
5 |
|
6 |
I have committed ebuild in the overlay and we are ready to |
7 |
deal with issue that escaped during the development phase. |
8 |
|
9 |
For most release from now on there will be an initial |
10 |
release of sage-doc-bin with documentation I personally |
11 |
built. This will be replaced once upstream issue their |
12 |
own tarballs. |
13 |
|
14 |
There is a big milestone in term of sage-doc. We now |
15 |
have some LINGUAS support for sage-doc and |
16 |
sage-doc-bin. The only restriction is that if you want html |
17 |
doc (as required by the sage notebook) LINGUAS=en |
18 |
is mandatory. This was also committed for 6.5 earlier this |
19 |
week. |
20 |
|
21 |
“en” is the only complete set of documentation amongst |
22 |
all the languages provided by sage. It is also the default |
23 |
when loading help from the notebook. Making that bit |
24 |
LINGUAS aware is not trivial at all. |
25 |
|
26 |
We are continuing on improving the sage-doc ebuild |
27 |
and trying to reduce its size. I have a very significant |
28 |
slimming feature in the live ebuild that is undergoing tests. |
29 |
I hope it will prove effective and we’ll be able to deploy |
30 |
it soon. |
31 |
|
32 |
The upgrade from 6.5 or earlier will pull a new version |
33 |
of pari and this in turn should trigger some rebuild. |
34 |
Be warned that it is expected. |
