[sage-devel] Re: new optional (or experimental) package CSDP?

2013-04-29 Thread Dima Pasechnik
here is the ticket adding CSDP as an experimental package:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/14505

 Dear all, 
 we'd like to add CSDP, (a fast semidefinite programming solver, one of the 
 very best around), 
 as an optional package.
 https://projects.coin-or.org/Csdp/ 
 It is a C library+headers, and I've written almost all what is needed 
 (besides spkg-install etc)
 to have it seamlessly installable (using autotools) into Sage, here:
 https://github.com/dimpase/csdp

 One major customer of CSDP in Sage is Flagmatic, see 
 http://flagmatic.org/

 We are also working on a Cython interface to CSDP, and hope to have it 
 ready soon.
 CSDP itself has a GPL-incompatible license imposed by the employer of the 
 developer of CSDP, so 
 it itself cannot become standard.

 I understand that we need to vote on this. (Needless to say I'm committed 
 to support CSDP as an optional
 package of Sage for the coming N years).
 Please vote on the following options:

 1) Yes to CSDP becoming an optional package

 2) no to 1), but yes to CSDP becoming an experimental package.

 3) no, no, just go away.

 Thanks,
 Dima

 here is the ticket adding CSDP as an experimental package:
 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/14505

Wow. Cool !

Why do you prefer to create 2 tickets for that ? It feels a bit weird to
review an interface between Sage and a spkg which is not included, and it
feels weird to add to Sage a spkg which is not interfaced with it.

Though if the two tickets depend on each other, then no problem ;-)

e.g. Flagmatic only needs csdp executable installed.
So, in a way, it already makes sense without anything extra.

Ok, cool ! Send me a line when you will begin to work on that. And to
Jernej too, whom I added to this email. He may be part of GSOC this
summer, and may want to work on that too.

Could you send an email to sage-devel to ask them how the hell we are
supposed to libtoolize things without modifying upstream ? I don't
know either, but I still have scars from the first spkg I put in Sage
and in which I modified upstream : Cliquer :-P

Admittedly it was not a very nice piece of work, though. I mean, what
I did with it of course ! :-D

In this case all my changes are perfectly traceable on github.
I don't see a point in packaging these in one big patch.
As we hopefully are moving towards a saner sources management model, 
big patches should be dying away, IMHO...

I'm telling him for a month already to get a Sage trac account, you

Well, I hope it will happen, and I don't have to scream... :)
Anyhow, that's the most unpleasant part of the inteface done, creating
linked with pointers C structs to be passed to the solver.

no, it's nothing to do with git per se.

 I had never heard of Flagmatic before. Looks GREAT :-D
it implements a range of recent ideas due to Razborov et al, which
