Comment #43 on issue 2482 by [email protected]: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
Hey!
I would just like to add one negative consequence of bundling mpmath.
Sympy has a Fedora package: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/sympy,
but unfortunately, it hasn't been updated to version 0.7.2 yet.
There is an open bugzilla ticket to update to version 0.7.2:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866044
Updating should in theory be as easy as using the new tarball and
rebuilding the rpm package. However, since packages are not allowed to
bundle libraries in Fedora (for details, see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries), the sympy
package has a 500+ line patch to remove the bundled mpmath:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/sympy.git/tree/sympy-0.7.1-strip-internal-mpmath.patch.
Of course, this patch doesn't apply any more to sympy 0.7.2...
As a middle ground, I suggest that the users of sympy are offered an option
to either use the bundled mpmath or the system-provided one. Would this be
hard to implement?
Thanks and best regards,
Tadej
