I'm probably hitting my head against a wall, but would it not be better if the Sage project decided to actually *test* on certain operating systems and versions before making a release? In other words, we "support" Fedora versions 12 and 13 (for example), and never release a version of Sage without confirmation it actually builds on Fedora 12 and 13. A couple of weeks ago I got an email from one of the MPFR developers who said they were intending to make a new release and could they use my HP-UX machine to test before making a release. I obliged and they have confirmed MPFR will build on an old version of HP-UX. In contrast. Sage is released without being tested on the latest version of the second most popular linux distribution (if Wikipedia is to be believed). I'm not suggesting we hold up a release of Sage just because it does not build on Fedora 13 which was released, but at least have a set of distributions where we agree to test before releasing. At the moment a Wiki page gets filled in with successful builds after a release is made. IMHO it would be better to fill that in *before* making the release.
