Releasing sage-5.0

[Jeroen Demeyer]

If nobody complains, I will finally release sage-5.0 (equal to the just
released sage-5.0.rc1) in the weekend.

Have a look at the release notes at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/release/sage-5.0/logs/sage-5.0.txt
and let me know if anything needs to be changed.

One minor issue: I noticed that, for 'rc0, on 10.6.8, GCC was built because the existing version (from Xcode 3.2.6) was too old.

That was a change from previous betas. Were there problems with this configuration?

GCC will always have to be built on OSX since they don't include
fortran, and the GCC spkg is replacing the fortran spkg.

Ah. Thanks; that slipped by me while I was napping.

iPhone, therefore I am.

And I think it is *fantastic* that there is one less package in Sage
that is a non-source binary. To the best of my knowledge, I think the
only remaining non-source binary left in Sage is JMOL. (And at least
three.js + WebGL is a strategy for getting past that.)

+1, the less binary blobs the better :)

Hi

I am still hoping someone can give me the build scripts and/or settings to create
binaries for Ubuntu, so that I can package them in a PPA.

Things like standard settings for i686, amd64, SAGE_FAT_BINARY (whatever that does)
and so on. I'm not sure how to compile a binary for standard CPU flags rather than for my
own.

I'd like to get Sage-5.0 packaged for Ubuntu 12.04 as soon as possible ;)

Regards,
Jan

I don't think so. We didn't change anything related to OS X after beta13.

It was a long nap...
