That may be true. I don't know exactly what exists on sage.math. But many
of the messages do not seem to indicate such a problem to me. Things like:
{{{
from sage.misc.prandom import seed
ImportError: cannot import name seed
}}}
does not look like a plotting problem or library to me. Would you agree?
> Besides that, your script also tests {{{/chap7/covsel.bin}}} which is
not a python file and also not found by the appropriate
{{{/chap7/covsel}}} script due to relative paths.
Yes, I had noticed that, but given the large number of problems, it was
only one in around 20 tests. I can easily change that, but it seems to be
in the noise at the minute.
> I appreciate to try to include testing - and in general it makes sense
to do it - but my point of view is that it is much more important to
update this years old library and get compiling working on all platforms
and resort fixing the library later in separate tickets. 0.9 is not useful
at all.
At the minute, this is certainly worst than the previous version on
Solaris.
The warning messages noticed by Peter look pretty serious to me and are
new to this version. Those occur on any platform.
I personally feel these issues should be resolved, otherwise we could end
up making matters worst. If the upgrade does not get done properly now, it
probably never will.
