Package: gap
Version: 4r4p10-2
Severity: important
If I am not mistaken, the Debian gap package has the core gap system
but most of the additional function packages are missing. This
severely restricts functionality. For example, GRAPE is absent.
Presently:
gap> LoadPackage("Grape");
fail
gap> LoadPackage("Guava");
fail
Desired:
gap> LoadPackage("Grape");
Loading GRAPE 4.3 (GRaph Algorithms using PErmutation groups),
by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
true
gap> LoadPackage("Guava");
...
true

Hello Andries,
You are correct. Debian only provide the core gap components, not the
extra packages. However, you can install them locally: see the
file /usr/share/doc/gap/README.Debian:
GAP (http://www.gap-system.org) provide a lot of extra component, most of them
are not packaged yet. However, care has been taken so that you can locally
install them either:
* in /usr/local/share/gap or /usr/local/lib/gap.
* in ~/gap.
Note they must usually be put in a sub-directory called pkg.
For example, the FactInt package provide a factint directory that must be
moved to ~/gap/pkg/factint.
To compile some of them, you will need to install the gap-dev package.
Since GAP can provide new packages at random time, I cannot garantee it will
work, but if it is not possible to install a package, I will be glad if you
told me about the problem.
Of course, we can produce Debian package for more GAP packages in the
future, but this is a lot of work.
Cheers,
