That is good news, but since FLINT saw problems, they may be hidden. > If the flint maintainer doesn't fix this "soon" then perhaps we can just > disable that one test for the short-term to allow this transition to go > forward. I'm not sure it is a good idea to push things forward: Bill (main developer) said those tests only pass data to NTL, let it do the calculation and get the result back. If those conversions are problematic, the root can be: - NTL changed something and it wasn't intentional, so NTL will need a fix ; - NTL changed something and it was intentional, so FLINT will need a fix. In either case, there is a good chance that this change will break things also higher up the stack : FLINT is just an early warning sign, and ignoring it is wrong. I suggest to wait for a diagnosis before planning anything. Snark
