This is a bit outdated and was generated from the f17 build: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/sagemath/test.log but most of the failures should still happen. > I ask because I'm planning to mention using sagemath on Fedora as an > alternative to Wolfram Mathematica to some people on our university, > and I wouldn't mind using stock sagemath instead of packaged one for > the time being, until packaged one gets wider testing. For the time being I would suggest using the upstream build, or something like http://aleph.sagemath.org or http://www.sagenb.org My goal is to have the package fully reliable. Right now it is passing roughly 90% of the tests. Most failures are numerical noise, but there are some serious issues that need to be fixed. > I'm very grateful for your effort, and having packaged sagemath will > definitely make deployment and updates easier in the long term, but > leaving a good initial impression is really important when people are > exposed to free software. > > Regards, > Vedran Thanks, Paulo _______________________________________________ scitech mailing list scitech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/scitech
