(see https://bitbuc ket.org/aims_za/sagemath-upstream-binary/src/c2537afafd626430645166090a7a53a3c9cfb76a/autobuild.sh?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default ) We're using ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/misc/sage/linux/ because our host is situated in Germany at Hetzner.de. The plan is to run the autobuild weekly, it will fetch the latest binary, build, and upload to ppa:aims/sagemath-dev. If there is a new sage version (like 6.9 now) I will deploy the ppa:aims/sagemath-dev package immediately on my campus, and perhaps take a few days to test it before manually uploading to the stable PPA. So that should be always under a week. I set the autobuild to run via cron Sundays 01:30am so I can get the new deb on Monday morning at work, that is if the fu-berlin.de updates their mirror before Sunday 1am. I may choose another mirror if it turns out that this one updates more slowly. This is still up for discussion... we thought daily autobuilds a bit of a waste, and may even do less, e.g. monthly, or only at a new sage release time? Given the current weekly... If you permanently enable the ppa:aims/sagemath-dev you may get the weekly rebuilds, which essentially is not a new sage but just a week newer Ubuntu underneath. Changes in sagemath's file structure could break this package, but that will only be at changing sage versions. The -dev is more for us to test dpkg-related problems. But also to have a place to test new releases. If you use the stable PPA though, you should only be a few days behind the -dev PPA. If you run both PPAs though, then reverting is trivial. But a weekly sagemath download might be untenable depending on your bandwidth infrastructure context.
