Build instructions

1. Make sure you have a constant internet connection.

2. clone the working branch from sagemath's sage repository:

    git clone git://github.com/sagemath/sage.git -b working
   

3. change into the source directory and run make:

    cd sage
    make
   

4. branch off and start working:

    git branch my_branch origin/working
    git checkout my_branch
   

Transition Status

Done

• build system modifications (except as below)
• git friendly trac server
  • this can go live as soon as the vpn is ready
• development scripts (found at dev_scripts)
  • git backend (pending no more needed functionality)
  • user interface api

Needs work

• resolve #14781
• development scripts (found at dev_scripts)
  • trac backend
    • method to get display ticket, including all comments
    • method to edit whole ticket (easy to do once the previous one is implemented)
  • public interface (SageDev object)
    • doctests and docstrings
    • finish move of SavingDicts (these should be attached to SageDev as opposed to GitInterface, as they were previously)
    • finish revamp to be more pythonic (asking forgiveness, rather than a bunch of if..else blocks)
  • mecurial compatibility scripts
    • SPKG merge script (should be really easy to write using a truncated version of the script I use to manage the git repository)
    • branch -> mercurial patch (that works with whitespace)
    • make download_patch a bit smarter when it comes to urls
• finish cleanup of the mercurial export script (nearly done)
• documentation
  • walk_through.rst needs a major overhaul
  • producing_spkgs.rst and patching_spkgs.rst need updating
    • old style spkgs are deprecated
    • unified repository now
    • package_version.txt
    • checksums.ini (sage-fix-pkg-checksums)
  • producing_patchs.rst needs major overhaul
  • trac.rst probably needs updating
  • other smaller fixups will probably be needed throughout
