Qubes R4.0.2 rc3

I would like to get the latest Sagemath and Jupyter on a VM.

I am using the Fedora 30 tempateVM which I updated from 29.  I then cloned the Fedora 30, and added sagemath with:
dnf install sagemath

Is there a term for this type of installation?

That's simply "template installation" or perhaps "customized template". This is usually the safest way to add apps.


The next version of sagemath is to have full Python 3 capabilities.

I am concerned on how to install the latest because when I made the initial sagemath the newest version was 8.9 but the install was 8.8. When the next version comes out, I would like to assure I get the latest.

How do I get the latest?

What concerns/risks should I consider for this installation?

This page seems to indicate 8.9 isn't available yet from the fedora site: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/sagemath

The sage site offers new packages for Debian and Ubuntu (they appear to strongly prefer these two) but not Fedora, which is why I think it becomes available on Debian before Fedora. But downloading directly isn't really secure in this case.

Probably the easiest route using secure update channels is to install a Qubes Debian 10 template and enable 'Sid' repository which has the 8.9 version. However, there is some risk that the template could break so clone the template first.

Debian 10 instructions:

1. Create a file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local' containing this line:

APT::Default-Release "stable";

2. Edit the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' to add this line:

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian sid main

3. Run 'sudo apt-get update' to refresh the package db. Then you can install the 8.9 version with 'sudo apt-get install sagemath -t sid'.
