Replying to [comment:103 parisse]:
> I indeed commit directly to geogebra SVN. I therefore see no need to
have a separate public repository somewhere else.
> I don't understand your concern about bug reports. If sage users find a
bug in giac code, then it will be treated like bugs detected in ggb or HP
or Xcas, i.e. I do my best to fix them in giac. Sage developpers are not
really involved here, once the bug has been tagged as a giac bug and I
receive an email about the bug (of course if someone in the Sage community
want to help me find the bug in my c++ source he is welcome). You just
have to take care of compiling the latest stable source to make sure all
fixes are in.
If I look at e.g.
https://dev.geogebra.org/trac/log/trunk/geogebra/common/src/giac/config.h?rev=36861
I can only conclude that there must be some human decision involved into
what goes into a geogebra release, and what doesn't. That is we cannot
reliably assume that a commit into
https://dev.geogebra.org/trac/log/trunk/geogebra/common/src/giac/ means a
new giac release. Moreover, we cannot even just use
https://dev.geogebra.org/, i.e. a geogebra web service, this way, as it
violates their licence at http://www.geogebra.org/license

In short, how on Earth does one know what the "latest stable" is?
