Adventures in Open Source Math. Friday, May 2, 2008. Sage 3.0.1.rc0 release. This is the end of the 3.0.1 release cycle. The build was announced in IRC about eight hours ago, but since I took a long nap in the meantime I never posted to sage-devel ;). Gary's pbuild has been improved and three bugs have been fixed. Please try it out again for feedback. To use pbuild. Before building Sage. The number of threads used during the build of the Sage library is set via SAGE BUILD THREADS, i.e. 3071: Gary Furnish...

Adventures in Open Source Math: December 2007

Adventures in Open Source Math. Saturday, December 29, 2007. The Sorry State of Dynamic Libraries on Cygwin. This is a follow up to my previous post on the Cygwin port of Sage 2.9.1.1. What started initially about some linking issue with libpari resolved itself into a very unexpected way: libpari.dll ended up in $PREFIX/bin instead of $PREFIX/lib. After I found the DLL by accident I discovered even more bizar behavior specific to Cygwin:. Most do not create proper def files for imports. They put them int...

Adventures in Open Source Math: Sage 3.0.1.alpha1 released
http://mabshoff.blogspot.com/2008/05/sage-301alpha1-released.html
Adventures in Open Source Math. Thursday, May 1, 2008. Sage 3.0.1.alpha1 released. This release should have been out two days ago, but somehow general slowness and me spending a lot of time on various porting issues did delay this release more than it should have. Gary's pbuild should now be fully functional, but it wasn't made the default build system yet. If you run. Export SAGE BUILD THREADS=8. I am currently seeing an odd doctest failure in. Other than that things should "just work". 2741: William St...

Adventures in Open Source Math: April 2008
http://mabshoff.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Adventures in Open Source Math. Monday, April 28, 2008. Once upon a time a long, long time ago in a happy world where men were real men and wrote their own device drives in assembler - well, screw that, it is 2008. This is the story about whether Maxima, which is the only Sage component written in lisp, will stay in Sage long term or not. To make things easier let's get some things sorted out before we get into the story:. In sci.math.symbolic [currently 40 posts]. Multivariate factoring - use maxima?

Adventures in Open Source Math. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. Dsagesetup() broken in Sage 3.0.2.

Self-orthogonal Binary Codes (Robert Miller).

Adventures in Open Source Math. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Some times I am right, often I am wrong. Oh well, Ondrej Certik. Offered a debugging challenge. In Sage he discovered. The problem was that he hit a timeout when starting up a binary copy of Sage on his shiny, new and fast Intel Quad Code box. After some debugging he discovered that Debian's XFS default mount options cause the slowdown, all the details can be found in this blog entry. Saturday, February 23, 2008. Sage 2.10.2. Oh well, Sage Days 7.
