For now I am ok with rebuilding some packages, like polybori, or already running a newer pari. > On Sat, Apr 28, 2012 at 7:44 PM, Paulo César Pereira de Andrade > <paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Packaging linbox 1.1.6 may be an alternative, but proper approach >> should be to get both components to work together.

Me too also waiting, otherwise, will take me some time to actually run sagemath in Fedora and debug it myself, as I believe if there is something wrong with the patch, it was my misunderstanding of things like arguments in format "A_nr, A_nc, B_nr, B_nc" renamed to "m, n, k" as the constraint is number of rows of A must match number of columns of B (for multiplication), or missed some place where there could be a double dereference or double free as linbox 1.1.6 did allocate a buffer for every matrix row and linbox 1.2.2 allocates a single buffer. >> As I stated in the trac, these are not final patches, just a call for >> feedback, as, while they most likely are correct, I did only test >> that it builds and makes both sides agree on api/abi. >> >> Now my fedora sagemath package is stuck in lcalc :-) > > Right, nobody has packaged lcalc for Fedora yet.

Could add a build requires versioned, but not required as if applying the patch it would not build with an older pari anyway. > -- > Jerry James > http://www.jamezone.org/ Thanks, Paulo _______________________________________________ scitech mailing list scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/scitech
