The "master" git branch has been updated to Sage-10.9. As always, you can get the latest beta version from the "develop" git branch. Alternatively, the self-contained source tarball is at http://www.sagemath.org/download-latest.html
There was no change over 10.9.rc2

I'm curious: why release 10.9 when it doesn't build out of the box on OS X?

I checked that there is no open blocker issue, and then made the release. I didn't read the details of all mailinglist threads.
Sage doesn't build "out of the box" on OSX for some time now.
There is the conda install which I guess works (haven't tried) but doesn't let you do local development.
There is the system-wide (root-ful) homebrew which is tested on the CI, there is going to some combination of homebrew packages that lets you build the rest of Sage?
On my Mac I need a pristine environment so I don't really want to install homebrew system-wide, and there I've still not managed to build Sage. Granted I didn't have much time recently, it looks possible. But its definitely playing on hard mode.
IMHO not being able to easily build Sage on macOS as a non-privileged user is a bad state of affairs. I played around with installing (compiling) homebrew as a normal user, this looks like it almost works but not quite there.

I was able to build Sage 10.9 on macOS (Intel and Arm) as a non-privileged user, without using Homebrew, and with many optional packages included. The resulting Sage root was repackaged as the Sage_macOS app, which I just released and which is available from:
Of course this is not as easy as it once was. The triumphal achievement of getting rid of the python spkg, which always worked fine for me, causes me to have to build python myself now. And there are several other libraries that I now have to build myself as well, some of them being dependencies of python.
I have been considering assembling a binary package containing all of the "requirements" for building sage that could be unpacked in the sage/local directory and used to build Sage. That would be like a half-way measure between a binary package and building from source. If (any of) you are interested in that project, please get in touch with me.

Anyhow, Apple recently realised another major, and not really backwards compatible, upgrade to XCode, you have noticed it yourself. Perhaps you could have asked around whether more time is needed to polish things up?

A combination of the homebrew core,
<https://github.com/Macaulay2/homebrew-tap/tree/main/Formula>
and
<https://github.com/dimpase/homebrew-tap/tree/main/Formula>
is mostly complete.
Currently slightly stalled by a Meson regression (as far as building Sage goes, see <https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/41626> and <https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/15764>) - hopefully fixed very soon.
The only complicated non-python/pypi standard spkg which does not have a reasonable Homebrew install is GAP.
(GAP is something that can be built from source, but ideally we want everything installed from binary taps, like Macaulay2 does)
see
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/40515
for the CI of this effort.

Homebrew does not install anything outside /opt/homebrew (and, optionally, config dot-files in your user directory), so I don't really know what you mean by "pristine".
It's less intrusive than a typical macOS app.

There is no Homebrew clone which uses only non-Apple tools, as far as I know.

I was hoping that you read the responses in this mailing list, for example the first response to the post about the release of 10.9.rc2, in which I reported that using --with-darwin-accelerate plus all of the recommended homebrew packages, Sage builds, but it does not build without --with-darwin-accelerate. To be honest, I didn't know if it was appropriate to mark an issue (as opposed to a PR) as a blocker, but I will do that now with https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/42096.

I do not use "sudo" when I install homebrew packages, although they are installed system-wide in /opt/.

Why do you think so?
Anyhow, Apple recently realised another major, and not really
backwards compatible, upgrade to XCode, you have noticed it yourself.
Perhaps you could have asked around whether more time is needed to
polish things up?

Yes, it's coming. If you paid attention, we now have taps for most
non-Python standard packages.
A combination of the homebrew core,
<https://github.com/Macaulay2/homebrew-tap/tree/main/Formula>
and
<https://github.com/dimpase/homebrew-tap/tree/main/Formula>

On arm64 Macs (you have one, right?)
Homebrew does not install anything outside /opt/homebrew (and,
optionally, config dot-files in your user directory), so I don't
really know what you mean by "pristine".
It's less intrusive than a typical macOS app.

Homebrew does not need more permissions for installing than XCode.
Nowadays you can install Homebrew as a macOS package, from an
Apple-blessed .pkg file, such as
<https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/releases/download/5.1.9/Homebrew.pkg>,
so I don't really understand "non-priviliged" standpoint here.
There is no Homebrew clone which uses only non-Apple tools, as far as I know.

What is the point of this if you don't have XCode? Building everything
using the vanilla clang doesn't seem like a viable install option.
Best,

Thank you for the release, Volker!
Sage 10.9 fails to build on my Ubuntu 24.04 computer, both as an incremental build from Sage 10.9.beta8 (which built and ran OK) or as a full build from a fresh git clone; this is due to the package rpy2_rinterface-3.6.6:

/home/eric/sage/10.9/logs/pkgs/rpy2_rinterface-3.6.6.log
and
/home/eric/sage/10.9/config.log
Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/home/eric/sage/10.9/local/var/tmp/sage/build/rpy2_rinterface-3.6.6 and type 'make' or whatever is appropriate.
Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
(cd '/home/eric/sage/10.9/local/var/tmp/sage/build/rpy2_rinterface-3.6.6' && '/home/eric/sage/10.9/sage' --buildsh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.

Thank you very much Marc, that was it!
After having installed the Ubuntu package libtripc-dev, the build was successful.
The requirement of libtripc-dev seems something new since Sage 10.9.beta8. It is not mentioned in the output of configure though (copy below).
I've added libtripc-dev to the list of prerequisites at
Thank you!

Well XCode updates are always broken, thats just on par for the course. I should have said: the CI checks that some version of XCode lets you build with some version of homebrew packages.
Perhaps you could have asked around whether more time is needed to
polish things up?
It's [i.e. homebrew] less intrusive than a typical macOS app.
Thats not true, macOS applications (.app's) are quite well-contained (software deployment still sucks because there is no official package management, but thats another story...)
What deserves a special circle in hell are packages (.pkg files) which are just a double-clickable landmine that then spews files into random locations. Basically windows 3.11 executable installers for macOS.
In any case, we can just make another release when we want. Let me know when you are happy with macOS support and I can make a release, no big deal.

apple tools and stamped, for $100 a year or so), so what.
Python distributes macOS Python as .pkg, too.
It's all question of trust. Do we trust Apple? Do we trust Python.org?
Do we trust brew.sh (Homebrew)? Do we trust PyPI?
I don't think I trust Apple more than I trust Python.org or Homebrew.
Apple is good in security theater, that's all.

distros, and the corresponding docs,
conda lock files, uv lock files are synched, etc.
then make 10.9.1 or so, say by the end of the month?
In the future, can we please have a code freeze period, announced in
advance, say, 2 weeks in advance,
so that the loose ends are tied up, testing of installation procedures
is done, and no other activity on develop is happening?
IMHO it's for the release manager to manage people involved in the
release, too, the release manager doesn't have to suffer in silence,
with the only means of communications being beta and rc numbering :-)

What worked fine for you created extra workload, as well as pure time

waste, for many other people, unfortunately.

That would be like a half-way measure between a binary package and building from source. If (any of) you are interested in that project, please get in touch with me.
Homebrew formulae, so that the non-python packages needed to build
Sage (sagelib, to be precise) are all here.
We are actually almost there, see
https://github.com/Macaulay2/homebrew-tap/,
https://github.com/dimpase/homebrew-tap/,
https://github.com/gap-system/homebrew-gap/.
We don't want yet another version of sage-distro with all of its
problems, such as lack of proper package dependency management, etc.

In the future, can we please have a code freeze period, announced in

so that the loose ends are tied up, testing of installation procedures
is done, and no other activity on develop is happening?
Like how about I release rc0 on, say, April 19 and then wait until May 5 to make the release? That`s even more than two weeks. That did happen ;)

How about setting up a checklist for the releases, so that everything builds on the major platforms, documentation is up to date,etc.
Say, one opens an issue with this checklist (once rc0 is out?), and the release doesn't happen until everything is ticked off?

I'd say this is a great idea. In addition, we could also use Github's milestones to collect issues that should be fixed in the current release cycle - personally, I find this more transparent than the current handling via the "blocker" label.
Perhaps these ideas should be discussed and then voted on on the main mailing list?
