Hi all, sage-4.4.2 has just been released. I am guessing that Christopher may be preparing for exams in June so I will probably do the bump. I have already bumped sage-doc.
Other matters: -The situation on amd64 is still bad. There has been a silent (no revbump) update to cython to deal with a strict-aliasing problem: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294585 I don't have the hardware so I cannot check if it has an influence on our problems but it is worth a try. -python-2.6.5-r2 is going stable. sage is of course still shipping 2.6.4. I have already put a "pickled" version of python-2.6.5-r2 in the overlay (2.6.5-r99). Apart from: http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/issues#issue/1 which needs to be fixed in sage (patch/suggestions welcome) I don't expect any problems with that. -mpir-2.0.0 entered the overlay, sage is actually still shipping 1.2.2. Report problems as usual. -I have tracked 2 other failing tests which are now working: http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/issues#issue/8 http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/issues#issue/9 -I am wondering if issues 3 and 6 are down to -ffast-math in one way or another. If you have any similar issues please post. -still no clue on gap's behaviour. Considering the amount of aliasing problem you may as well try to add -fno-strict-aliasing to your CFLAGS for building gap and see if that improve things. -I have imported sympy-0.6.6 in the overlay as it has left the portage tree and sage currently doesn't work with 0.6.7. We should investigate doing some porting work. Porting work to scipy-0.7.2 would be a good idea too. Francois
