without being able to build as-is on a major distribution and won't build
reliably on another. We have a small, simple, low-risk fix available
right now. I think it would be good to incorporate the fix now rather
than pushing it back again.
Despite trying - see for example
http://wiki.sagemath.org/suggested-for-supported-platforms
I've never managed to get any agreement on what is "supported". But it we
believe README.txt, both !ArchLinux and !OpenSUSE are supported. However,
in my opinion we should not hold a release of Sage just because on Linux
distro has bought at yet another backwards incompatible version. But if a
change in Sage has broken one of these systems, then I think it should be
addressed in 4.6. But if the breakages are caused by updated versions of
Linux, then I think these systems will just have to accept that.
