Hi, |

|

sage 8.6 will use gap-4.10.0. The changes in packaging coming |
| 4 |
from upstream for this version (and the short lived 4.9) are |
| 5 |
significant. |
| 6 |
It also pushed me to reconsider how support gap and its packages |
| 7 |
in Gentoo. gap supports packages like R but the mechanics of it |
| 8 |
are far less sophisticated or mature. |
| 9 |
Anyway I decided to switch to abusing subslots to manage package |
| 10 |
dependencies in a way that gave me the less headaches. |
| 11 |
I also back ported to the previous version of gap in the overlay. |
| 12 |
As a consequence if you have gap and gap packages installed at |
| 13 |
the moment you will want to unmerge them and then re-merge |
| 14 |
them to get the correct slotting. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
sage 8.6 tries to cram a few things to be released before the next |
| 17 |
debian freeze. gap is the biggest item on that list. Expect 8.6 |
| 18 |
in the next 7 days - probably. |
