Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Christopher has now removed the mask on the latest versions |
4 |
of the sage and sage-core ebuilds. These two ditch sage-singular |
5 |
in favour of a system wide singular. The segfault I mentioned |
6 |
earlier originated on sage's side as it tried to dlopen libsingular |
7 |
with an absolute path that lead in the wrong place. |
8 |
|
9 |
The last few touches are singular side, libsingular's headers call |
10 |
to some headers that are now shipped by the factory ebuild, so |
11 |
I added a dependency in singular. Lastly, sage uses singular's |
12 |
uncompressed info file for its help system so I added a use flag |
13 |
to install it. |
14 |
A better solution would probably to use the compressed info file. |
15 |
If anyone has a clue on how to properly open a compressed file |
16 |
from python we could use that. |
17 |
|
18 |
The last thing that needs to live in /opt/sage is the wiki. |
19 |
It is not really all that useful so we will ditch it. If you were |
20 |
using it you better speak now so we can make a contingency plan. |
21 |
|
22 |
Our plan is to put all of sage under /usr as soon as possible, |
23 |
/opt/sage is to go away - watch this space! |
24 |
|
25 |
The last minor annoyance is jmol. There are a number of things |
26 |
that I want to do/test with jmol but thats a matter for another |
27 |
message. |
28 |
|
29 |
To enjoy sage with system singular don't forget to re-emerge |
30 |
singular with the "sage" and "libsingular" flags. Then sage-core |
31 |
sage-scripts and sage can be updated. |

Cheers, |
