Replying to [comment:361 jdemeyer]:
> The PARI have been starting to fix some bugs that we reported (as I
said, they usually do it, albeit slowly). Two patches which are in
pari-2.4.3.svn-12577.p4.spkg are now fixed upstream in svn 12588:
> * http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089
> * http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1091
>
> Personally, I think we should upgrade our spkg from svn 12577 to 12588.
This might be a controversial proposal, so what do you think of it?
I think that would be a bad idea. It's difficult to say for sure without
knowing what was changed in all 11 different svn snapshots, but given
these are only snapshots with little testing, I think you have a
reasonable probability of hitting another bug.
Not only that, but people have spent a lot of time testing this. Their
appetite for testing might diminish.
Where do you stop?
