Internals: Macaulay2 Distributions

Mahrud Sayrafi edited this page Aug 29, 2020 · 2 revisions

Macaulay2 is about to be incorporated into the Debian Linux distribution.

Once this is done for Debian and Homebrew, and the Fedora distribution is brought up to date, making binary distributions and maintaining repositories on the Macaulay2 website may become obsolete.

  • Debian package cycle: unstable -> testing -> stable distribution
  • Time frame for M2 stable release: summer 2021
  • Maintenance tasks after stable release: update new releases, handle bugs in packaging, keep libraries up to date
  • Future goal: lib-macaulay2?
  • More details about Debian integration here.

Package maintainer is Doug Torrance. See also https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/macaulay2.
