Quoting Thomas Kahle <[email protected]>:
Hi,
I've run the attached script to find duplicates of packages from
sage-on-gentoo in science. The output was:
$ ./find-overlay-dups.sh
sci-chemistry/jmol
sci-libs/fplll
sci-libs/givaro
sci-libs/iml
sci-libs/m4ri
sci-libs/symmetrica
sci-mathematics/gap
sci-mathematics/polybori
What do people think about merging those versions in the science overlay
and removing them from sage-on-gentoo (or vice-versa)? Probably in most
cases there are additional fixes in sage-on-gentoo that science users
could benefit from (or at least should hurt nobody)?
Hi,
Since Christopher and I have access to the science overlay we should
do some clean up and synchronization.
Let's see case by case:
jmol, there are a few differences between mine and the science overlay,
jeffro and I are not in tune regarding EAPI and that's the main source of
differences (last time I looked).
fplll, givaro, iml, m4ri and polybori we are probably ahead. In fact we
probably put them in science in the first place. symmetrica and gap we are
probably ahead as well because I am not sure anyone else maintain them.
Synchronization requires some time.
About merging. Why not if you are ok with our cruft....
like old pexpect that has moved out of the tree, our own python ebuild (until
2.7.3 is finally released), I carry a special version of R for OS X on prefix
(have to fill the bug for that one). old networkx because the one we need as
dropped of the main tree....
Cheers,
Francois
