We currently distribute binaries for openSUSE 11.1 because that version of openSUSE is the version that we have on the build farm. To distribute binaries for openSUSE 11.2 or any newer versions of openSUSE would require an upgrade of the relevant build machines on the build farm. I notice that openSUSE 11.2 was released on November 12th, 2009, which makes it rather new. It would be some time, say, another version or two of Sage, before the build farm is upgraded to contain openSUSE 11.2. There has been reports of problems building Sage on openSUSE 11.2. I think this is in part due to incompatible libreadline libraries. Sage distributes its own libreadline, but openSUSE's version of libreadline has been causing lots of problems for us. Now that openSUSE 11.2 is out, I'm not surprised that the libreadline problem has resurfaced for that version. Many people including myself don't have access to a machine running openSUSE 11.2 so we can't fix the problems with build failures on openSUSE 11.2. Like most open source projects, the Sage project often lacks relevant resources to fix bugs, implement enhancements, and getting Sage to build on as many platforms and CPU architectures as possible. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
