gap, gap_packages, binder and conda

[enriqu...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know why there are some gap packages included in the standard package gap, some other ones included in gap_packages and other ones nowhere. I think someone said sometime ago that some of them could interfere with other sage packages but I am not sure which ones.

These days I have been using binder with an image created with conda-forge (thanks to the team of sage-binder-env). It works great (the last docker images stopped working some time ago, even cocalc images which worked a little bit longer).

I find binder is a useful tool for teaching and it also gives the possibility of verification purposes for people not having access to sagemath.

For this purposes, there is a problem when one uses optional packages; very recently, it is possible to build images working with some optional packages (bliss or sirocco, thanks to Fernando Isuru and also to Julian Rüth). It would be useful to construct such images also for several packages at the same time.

Maybe some packages of gap could be include in the core packages. Is it worth to open tickets for these questions?

Best, Enrique.

Have you tried installing the `gap` conda package which has all the gap packages including nq?
