Hi,
=====
First the good news:
Debian appears to have a team devoted to get sagemath
again packaged:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Sagehttp://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-science-sagemath/
so, some/most efforts related to be upstream can be shared.

mostly functional, cool stuff like tutorial jsmol interactive
plots work (there is need to update some packages
and at least one new package).
=====
Now the bad news :(
I am still unsure if I will get a functional package, as way
too many components are still broken (does not rebuild all
the docs due to crashes)...
It still requires significant work, as rawhide did not update to
ipython 4, and possibly one of the reasons is sagemath 6.8, so
I hacked (mostly overwrote ipython stuff with sage-6.8 files) it
to work with ipython 3.
I still need this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1296652
and now also need this:
https://github.com/cython/cython/pull/483/commits/97de55acf4efe3c3ae2b5a955…
I am bypassing the need of those by copying the cython install
to the buildroot, patching it, and using the patched cython... (ugly)
Besides hacking cython, it is still required to hack sphinx to
rebuild docs, with this hack from sagemath:

Allow Sphinx to recognize the Sage prompt "sage:"
the same way it recognizes the ">>>" from Python

Maybe we could get this in upstream...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839321#c4
There is also the bundling of pari...
Thanks,
