fplll: need a big upgrade

2012-05-19 Thread Julien Puydt
Hi, the version of fplll in debian is ancient, and should be upgraded. Sage 5.0 has version 3.0.12, but sage 5.1 targets version 4.0.0. Those new versions aren't GPL anymore, but LGPL. I'm willing to take care of it, if nobody else steps forth, as Tim Abbott, the official maintainer, is busy.

Debian science packages and gcc 4.7

Hi, debian/unstable has gcc 4.7, and the C++ compiler enforces the C++11 norm. That means a few things which compiled well before just error out. The sage project has a list of problems which could be of interest : http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12751 notice though that the patches
