Dear Sage lovers,

We're releasing Sage 4.6.2.alpha1.

Source archive:

Upgrade path:

Please build, test, and report! We'd love to hear about your
experiences with this release.

== Known issues ==

* Some doctests fail on bsd.math (OS X 10.6 i386), when compiling in
64-bit mode due to SAGE64 verbosity. This is #10303.

== Tickets ==

* We closed 93 tickets in this release. For details, see

Three good builds on 32-bit Linux (ubuntu) and (2@) 64-bit ubuntu.
All ptestlong passed fine except for this:

sage -t -long -force_lib devel/sage/sage/groups/perm_gps/cubegroup.py
The doctested process was killed by signal 9

The same file tested fine the second time.

I would guess that maybe your system ran of out memory or something?

Not very likely as it has 128GB, but I don't know how busy it was at
the time (overnight).

Built as an upgrade to 4.6.2-a0 (Mac OS X, 10.6.6, Dual Quad Xeon) w. no problems. A ptestlong run (-j6) turned up one failure:

devel/sage/sage/functions/piecewise.py

which failed because maxima complained about excess ")"s. A reran the test by hand, with no failure, and then reran the full 'ptestlong' test. This time, all tests passed. Must have been cosmic rays (or maybe my constrained memory environment caused problems; I'm always running with ~100MB free, and a fair number of memory hogs active).

Hello !!!

Compilation fails on Fedora 14 (32 bits), like with the previous alpha
release, and without any bash variable set (except make -j4) :-/

I uploaded the install.log file there, in case someone understands :

I don't know. Does the problem go away if you build again *without*
setting $MAKE or $SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD ?

(several hours of compilation later)

No, it is the same :-/

I updated the install.log, just in case. There are many lines like :

mv: cannot stat `/home/ncohen/sage/devel/sage-main': No such file or directory

that I do not explain :-/

Can you find the line where it built (or not) libtachyon.a?
