> For the tables, I would prefer `DOT_SAGE`. Even if there are 255 tables,
maybe that number will increase if larger fields are supported.
Current status of my local branch is:
- I am using the latest upstream snapshot, which says "Fixes for AIX and
64-bit platforms, GCC 4.9 compiler warnings". So, hopefully the "unsigned
versus signed char" issue is fixed.
- To change to a different commit in the upstream repository, it should be
sufficient to change what is written in `package-version.txt`, and `spkg-
src` will create the upstream tar ball (provided that it is executed in
the directory in which `package-version.txt` is found).
- The error propagation introduced by my patches does not cover all
potential cases. But it seems to me that it is sufficient for the intended
applications.
- !MeatAxe's test suite passes *after* applying my patches with Strassen
multiplication and error propagation.
- The tests in sage.matrix pass after changing one line number that
appears in an error message.
- The issue with multiplication tables polluting the current directory has
yet to be fixed. According to your comment, I should rebase my old patch
(which is easy), so that we can tell !MeatAxe to put its tables into
`DOT_SAGE`.
