Fedora sagemath 5.0.rc0 - work in progress

[Paulo César Pereira de Andrade]

  I think I am close to have the first binaries. You can look at a
full build log at
http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/sagemath.log.gz

  The initial sagemath.spec does not build documentation, but shortly should
do so, as building documentation is also a way to check it is working.

  The current build fails like this:

+ '[' '%{buildarch}' = noarch ']'
+ QA_CHECK_RPATHS=1
+ case "${QA_CHECK_RPATHS:-}" in
+ /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths
+ /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14lRTk (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14lRTk (%install)

  I think it may be caused because I had a $HOME/.rpmmacros that had:

%_enable_debug_packages       %{nil}
%debug_package          %{nil}

I will remove it and rebuild/reinstall singular, local and flint, and retry...

  But there are some optional components missing, that at first I just
commented out, most notably should be http://www.coin-or.org/ that
I do not know if is packaged with another name in fedora...

Thanks,

  It should still take significant time to have it working.
I corrected the buildroot in binaries by updating some paths
because for some reason it was not expanding symlinks
so I just hardcoded it to search in %_includedir.

  I also updated some extra patches, as sage needs to be run
in the buildroot environment, to generate documentation, but
it failed. Need to check what every gap package provides.

Which coin-or.org project in particular are you looking for?  If you
mean cbc, I don't think anybody has packaged it yet.

Fedora only has GAP itself, the table-of-marks package, and xgap so
far.  I've got a few more baking here:

http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/

but more and more GAP packages have newer versions that only work with
GAP 4.5.  Even though that version is still in beta, I'm starting to
think about building it for Rawhide, so we can move ahead on some of
the other GAP packages.

  I will build the ones from there. Should resolve gapdoc and sonata
missing gap modules required by sagemath.

  In Mandriva I packaged gap packages from the
ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap4/tar.bz2/packages-2009_02_18-11_42_U...
tarball and did not update it anymore...

  You may consider packaging contents from the latest packages tarball, e.g.
ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap4/tar.bz2/packages-2012_02_03-16_59_U...

  But should be better to follow the model you are using, and at least
at first, package only what sagemath "absolutely" needs, that should
be these packages (the missing ones that cause sage to fail to start):

ctbllib
sonata
guava
factint
gapdoc
grape
design
toric
laguna
braid

these should also be well maintained packages, and should all be
in the "approved" list of gap packages.

We can't do that.  Some of the packages in that tarball have license
issues, or depend on external software with license issues.  We have
to take them one by one for auditing purposes.

Good, we agree. :-)

That looks like a good initial list to me.

  Almost missed replying to this email :-)
  Initially I packaged only cbc in Mandriva, but later an user requested
full packaging, so I did it. Spec at:

http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/coin-or/curren...

  Sage build checks for existence of some headers, I think at
least cplex.h if I recall correctly, but that is closed source AFAIK,
and need a license to have the header and library.

  After installing your packages, it should be missing
guava
grape
design
toric
laguna
braid

  But I got yet another flint problem:

  Jerry, in case you want to test the current sagemath build, I think
I did not forgot
anything, but currently hacked rpms are:

kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/cliquer-1.21-1.fc16.src.rpm

the champion in hacking. This really needs a better integration with
upstream and
sagemath. Need to rename the sage_* symbols and provide the functionality in
the library.

http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/flint-1.6-3.fc16.src.rpm

quick hack to add NTL support.

http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/linbox-1.2.2-4.fc16.src.rpm

linbox side patches in my work to get sagemath 5.0rc0 to work with linbox 1.2.2.

http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/symmetrica-2.0-7.fc16.src.rpm

symmetrica built without -DLOCALTRUE to avoid unresolved symbols.

http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/sagemath.tar.bz2

rpm tree with the latest log, but without the tarball, just get it from
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/release/sage-5.0.rc0/sage-5.0.rc0.tar

In the sagemath.log in sagemath.tar.bz2 you should notice that it should
be required to create a maxima-runtime-ecl package.

  I made two RFE bugzilla reports to ecl and maxima to have maxima-runtime-ecl,
and in the meantime built it locally.

  First test of the generated package:

gap and singular appear to have worked at least for a very basic test.
The notebook starts correctly, but cannot do much more than
evaluate 1+1 without it going "forever thinking"; it also does not
provide "interactive" inputs to test the tutorial examples, so,
something is wrong there. I also did a quick check of sage -testall,
and it appears there is plenty of debug to do in my patch to use
linbox 1.2.2.

  Sage uses ecl-11.1.2, that defaults to --enable-unicode=no, and fedora
has ecl-12.2.1 (actually, fedora 16 has ecl-11.1.1 that should just work,
but I am building rawhide packages, as goal is to have sagemath for
fedora 18...)... So, attempting a test ecl build with --enable-unicode=no
fails in make check, like this:

Condition of type: SIMPLE-ERROR
Unknown or unsupported external format: UTF-8
No restarts available.

  I will try to debug the conditions that lead to either to see if I can
make it agree on features of the string object.

pari-gp also works, I just had not installed back the pari-gp package I built.
