There is several sentences about MPIR.
That is accurate. Of course MPIR contains much code which did not come from the GMP project but was written by MPIR contributors. I suppose that is obvious enough to most people. > > Sounds best if it ignored. If nothing else, the GMP web sites includes > awareness > of Sage. I agree. It's harmless and seems to be intended as a positive thing, as I read it. If I recall correctly, it used to say something along the lines that Sage might some day become..., now it says something like it is slowly becoming, which is an upgrade. :-) (I think I have this right, I'm going from memory). > > But if there is a Sage package for GMP, then the comment seems quite > reasonable. > I was not aware of that. > > Dave > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group athttp://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL:http://www.sagemath.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
