Re: [Scitech] Updating from f17 to f18 as well as the f17 sagemath packages in pcpa.fedorapeople.org

I followed the procedures at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_...
and after a reboot, updated my sagemath x86_64 repository.
I had a few f15 plexus&maven packages that appeared to cause
upgrade problems as well as ffmpeg-libs, but this was enough
for me to convert a f17 computer to f18:
$ sudo yum erase sagemath
$ sudo yum erase plexus-appserver plexus-runtime-builder
plexus-maven-plugin maven-shared plexus-xmlrpc ffmpeg-libs
$ sudo yum update yum
$ sudo yum clean all
$ sudo yum --releasever=18 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
$ sudo rpm --rebuilddb
If you previously had a /etc/yum.repos.d/sagemath-f17.repo, please
now use http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/sagemath/sagemath-f18.repo
Great stuff. Thank you for your effort.
There is a Singular update, but the same build should be available
as an update in a few days
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/Singular-3.1.5-3.fc18
and I just opened a bug report to update f18 to the same numpy in rawhide
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896311
In general, how stable is this? Are there tests to verify this is
working correctly?
I ask because I'm planning to mention using sagemath on Fedora as an
alternative to Wolfram Mathematica to some people on our university,
and I wouldn't mind using stock sagemath instead of packaged one for
the time being, until packaged one gets wider testing.
I'm very grateful for your effort, and having packaged sagemath will
definitely make deployment and updates easier in the long term, but
leaving a good initial impression is really important when people are
exposed to free software.

Vedran
Thanks,
Paulo
