Dear sage-devel, The freeze period for the next Debian release starts on 12 January 2019, as discussed at
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/22626#comment:118 This conditions what functionality users of Debian and its derivatives (including Ubuntu) will find in Sage for the next two years, if they install from their distribution's package manager. It might make sense for Sage developers to brainstorm on priorities for what needs to be integrated by then. One priority is definitely making progress on updating GAP, either using GAP 4.10 which should be announced any day now and will provide its own LibGAP, or working on our own libGAP based on GAP 4.9.3. Failing that, Sage might end up *not being in the next Debian release at all*, if I understand correctly. That would be a shame, given the number of users of Debian and its derivatives (including Ubuntu). Can you think of other things that should be given high priority? Volker, could you give a provisional timeline for the upcoming Sage release? Having a provisional timeline at the start of the release cycle, and an update to this provisional timeline near the end of the release cycle, is helpful for prioritising and for synchronising the Sage-Windows release.
