http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/inclusion.html
has some inaccurate information what needs to happen for including a new
package in Sage. According to that page, the package needs to build on
* Microsoft Windows: x86, x86_64 MSVC 2005/Intel Fortran (MinGW or Cygwin
support is insufficient!)
* Solaris 10: Sparc, x86, x86_64 (Sun Forte 12)
* Linux (SPARC).
Although building Sage with the latest Sun and Microsoft compilers would
be nice, in practice it is not going to happen any time soon.
I'm not sure if the Linux(SPARC) is a mistake, or intensional, but very
few people run Linux on SPARC hardware. We might as well forget any
thoughts of that.
Basically that bit of the Developers Guide needs some work.
We should also add a link to
http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms
so we only need to update the list in one place.
