* Package name : sagemath Version : 7.4 Upstream Author : William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> * URL : http://www.sagemath.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python, C, C++, Cython Description : SageMath: Open Source Mathematical Software SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more. Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers. Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab. Packaging SageMath for Debian is a large project and we are on a tight schedule, trying to upload it in time for stretch. We still could need help with fixing RC bugs of dependencies of SageMath (to make sure everything migrates to testing before the soft freeze). Also, some of the remaining components we are packaging have javascript dependencies that need to be packaged. If you want to help out with one of these or other things, see the list of tasks on [1] or drop by on our mailing list [2].
