Hi all, after a protracted release cycle (especially towards the end) sage 6.6 is finally out.
I have committed ebuild in the overlay and we are ready to deal with issue that escaped during the development phase. For most release from now on there will be an initial release of sage-doc-bin with documentation I personally built. This will be replaced once upstream issue their own tarballs. There is a big milestone in term of sage-doc. We now have some LINGUAS support for sage-doc and sage-doc-bin. The only restriction is that if you want html doc (as required by the sage notebook) LINGUAS=en is mandatory. This was also committed for 6.5 earlier this week. “en” is the only complete set of documentation amongst all the languages provided by sage. It is also the default when loading help from the notebook. Making that bit LINGUAS aware is not trivial at all. We are continuing on improving the sage-doc ebuild and trying to reduce its size. I have a very significant slimming feature in the live ebuild that is undergoing tests. I hope it will prove effective and we’ll be able to deploy it soon. The upgrade from 6.5 or earlier will pull a new version of pari and this in turn should trigger some rebuild. Be warned that it is expected. Francois
