I think I am close to have the first binaries.

This is awesome. Keep up the great work.

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. Sample of startup:

+ python common/builder.py all html Setting permissions of DOT_SAGE directory so only you can read and write it.

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/

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

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.

In Mandriva I packaged gap packages from the ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap4/tar.bz2/packages-2009_02_18-11_42_UTC.tar.bz2 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_UTC.tar.bz2

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.

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

But I got yet another flint problem:

File "polynomial_integer_dense_flint.pxd", line 11, in init sage.rings.polynom ial.polynomial_rational_flint (sage/rings/polynomial/polynomial_rational_flint.c pp:14423) ImportError: /home/pcpa/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/sagemath-5.0.rc0-1.fc16.x86_64/usr/li b64/python2.7/site-packages/sage/rings/polynomial/polynomial_integer_dense_flint .so: undefined symbol: ZZ_limbs

You may consider a variant of this patch:

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:

sage: quit Exiting Sage (CPU time 0m0.24s, Wall time 1m36.57s). Exiting spawned Singular process. Exiting spawned Gap process. -%<-

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.
