Bugzilla Bug 220521

The pari ebuild in portage is quite vanilla and do not provides the features
needed for a modular sage (bug #201321). The ebuild patch proposed hereafter
will expose the following features:
*building a gmp kernel instead of a standard pari one,
*enable the fetching and installing of optional data sets to speed
computations,
*enable building of static libraries,
*as a bonus includes a patch for the hfn bug 
(http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/2204).

Created an attachment (id=152053) [details]
patch to the current pari ebuild

Created an attachment (id=152055) [details]
patch to correct the hfn error.

Thanks much, Francois. I will have a look at your
suggested changes.

Markus

Hi Francois,

I am pretty much done with this. Do you happen to know
the license with which both elldata.tgz and galdata.tgz
are being distributed? I could not find any note on
the website or in the tarballs themselves.

Thanks,
Markus

I sent a clarification request to pari maintainer, hopefully
he will get back to me in the next 24 hours.

Thanks much, Francois. Hopefully they are GPL-2 as
well.

I got an answer from Karim just now. Forgot that last Thursday was
a public holyday in France. Anyway everything is under GPL presumably v.3
as it is the one linked from the pari web page.

Great, thanks much for asking upstream about this. 
I hope I can push the enhancements into portage later 
today.

Best,
Markus

This is now in portage. Thanks again for your help!

Best,
Markus
