Mirror for 32-bit Ubuntu LTS.

[Thierry]

Hi,

looking at
http://ask.sagemath.org/question/2582/installing-error-in-linux-mint-13
i saw that sagemath.org only distributes 32-bit binaries for Ubuntu
13.04. While it is good to have binaries for the last version of ubuntu,
it could be nice to propose binaries for the LTS as well (currently
12.04).

Is it possible ? Is there a problem in terms of available computing
ressources ?

Ciao,
Thierry

We used to have such (at least until last year), and in fact *only* for
LTS versions, which AFAIK were previously built in a VM on boxen (Harald
will know), later on Keshav's(?) buildbot machine arando.

The 13.04 one got added only recently (arando got upgraded), probably
/replacing/ the 12.04 one, which IIRC wasn't really intended.

Well, I asked Jeroen whether he preferred to have binaries for the
latest LTS version or the latest general version of Ubuntu and he said
the latter, which is why considered it OK to upgrade arando.

Keith Clawson (or somebody else) can make VM's (using KVM) for any
high-priority but not avialable OS's, which I can host on some
hardware at UW.

Yes, but I thought it was planned to have the (easier to maintain) LTS
in a VM then (mainly for building bdists), while arando would always
have the latest Ubuntu version (for testing devel versions and building
bdists as well).

If somebody (not me) is willing to set up and administrate those VMs,
then I will set them up as buildslaves.


Resources per VM: 1 CPU should be enough, RAM should be at least 2GB(*),
disk space should be 10GB on average with larger peaks possible, but
that can be on NFS.

(*) I don't know whether 2GB of RAM (without swap) is actually
sufficient, but it might be a good experiment to try that.

Hi,

is there any chance to have binaries for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 bit)?

I have an Ubuntu installation with no Internet connectivity and need to run Sage on it. 

Currently, with the binaries for 13.04 I have problems with the Glibc version (2.17 required, 2.15 available in Ubuntu 12.04).

any help?

Thankyou in advance
