Hi! Concerning the support problematic for ARM, Windows etc:
We should ask ourselfs if we need a more minimal Sage distribution, which is easily portable to ALL Platforms. The main problem with Sage on many platforms is, that some packages often fail to build. Especially C based packages as troublemakers. I absolutely don't want to close out these packages! But we should consider a subset of Sage (let's call it MiniSage) which is easier portable and more slender, but which contains enough functionality for the average user. This gives the developers more time to polish out problems with packages of the traditional Sage, while maintaining and improving functionality of the core set on the device in question. That would come to the following new structure: Minimal Packages (MiniSage)-> Core Packages (traditional Sage) -> optional Packages ... -Stefan On Tuesday, December 9, 2014 6:25:56 PM UTC+1, William wrote: > > On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 9:20 AM, mmarco <mma...@unizar.es <javascript:>> > wrote: > > Yes we do, but not as completely as x86.
