Hi

I am looking for a Debian or Ubuntu packaging mentor.

I am not an experienced debian packager, I am learning everything from scratch.

But I am an experienced system administrator.


I am hoping to find a mentor familiar with both Debian/Ubuntu and sage to assist me.

I am trying to build a deb package for sage. I am doing this on launchpad for Ubuntu using
http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html



I would not mind getting Sage into Debian first, but found the Ubuntu documentation
more accessible and am an Ubuntu user.

I am NOT trying to debianize sage fully -- i.e. I do not want to have sage depend
on debian/ubuntu versions of all the spkg'es, my goal is just to make Sage easy to



install on Ubuntu through a personal package archive, including all sage versions of
spkg'es.

I have succesfully built sage-4.8 on Ubuntu 12.04 (yes, the development version).
However, when running debuild, maxima fails to build:




l,-z,relro -L/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/local/lib -Wl,--rpath,/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/local/lib -L/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/local/lib -lecl -lgmp -lgc -ldl -lm make[4]: *** [binary-ecl/maxima] Error 1

************************************************** **********************
Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel)
explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file



* /home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/logs/maxima-5.23.2.p3.log
Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3 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/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3' && '/home/jan/sage-4.8/sagemath/sage' -sh)



When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.
