sagemath 5.0.1 rawhide WIP screenshots

[Paulo César Pereira de Andrade]

After some delay due to several issues, like getting some packages updated
or upstream accepting patches, etc, I did work again on sagemath for fedora.
Also now running rawhide not fc16.

Sample notebook screenshot:
http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/rawhide-sage-notebook.png

Sample screenshot from the xterm starting the sagemath notebook:
http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/rawhide-sage-shell.png

In the last screenshot it was running "sage -testall" but I did not
bother to wait it timeout when running:

sage -t  -force_lib "devel/sage/sage/structure/parent_old.pyx"

because it did dead lock in a select syscall, so I just ^C'ed and tested the
notebook. There is plenty of debugging to do to get it usable, but screenshots
should give a good idea of the current state :-)

BTW, the fedora windowmaker package makes me sad :-) I will try to come
with some patches at some point, and also hope to get xedit reviewed and
packaged, besides probably I am the only user of it :-)

PS: In the notebook screenshot, I need to add a maxima patch, and
will require a patch in maxima if one chooses to use clisp as maxima
backend; patch should be close to
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/maxima/current/SO...

I just rsync'ed hopefully everything one needs to test the work in progress
sagemath package in rawhide, and also have it as a disaster recovery :-)
  See http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/sagemath/ contents. The test.log
there is the latest "sage -testall" results in my computer. Some failures
should be due to missing requires, and most others are still to be
debugged.

I made a new screenshot to again have an idea of current state

Thanks :-)

If you can help, after solving these bugzilla issues, the sagemath package
would be in a "pre alpha" shape, that would pass 85%+ of the doctests,
probably not good enough to be added to an official distro, but good
enough for rawhide, and in a way that could have more peope testing...
So, please consider helping with these bug reports:

837156	python-matplotlib	RFE: Please update to latest version 1.1.0
I provided a sample working package, maintainer should update at some point

837166	jmol			RFE: jmol plugin does not work
I only suggested changes, not vital package, but it is what everybody
wants to show in a sagemath install, interactive 3d plots :-)

837441	linbox			RFE: Update to latest upstream release 1.3.2
837427	fflas-ffpack		RFE: Update to latest upstream release 1.6.0
837423	givaro			RFE: Update to latest upstream release 3.7.0
Waiting for package maintainer ping

837142	maxima			RFE: Add patch to allow disabling readline in
maxima-runtime-clisp
rdieter was very responsive to my other requests, so this should be
addressed soon, and is not mandatory, just to make maxima-runtime-clisp
work with sagemath.

785903	Package Review		Review Request: gap-character-tables - GAP
Character Table Library
good to have, but gap should work without it, in this package, I just set
fedora-review+ so Jerry can request a scm for it :-)

819264	Package Review		Review Request: Singular - Computer Algebra
System for polynomial computations
This one is very important, and a core sagemath dependency, waiting for
rdieter comments :-)

825494	Package Review		Review Request: cliquer - Find cliques in
arbitrary weighted graphs
Nobody claimed this review, but it is required both to build and for
sagemath runtime.
