@collares ping :)

[omasanori]

Thank you so much for your excellent work as usual!
Just a few minor comments for now; I will review several times for a better result.

[collares]

Many thanks for all the reviews everyone :) I value your comments but I also value your time, so (while I will quickly apply any suggested changes) I should clarify that nothing in this draft PR passes tests yet, and it might take a long time to debug the failures and get this to a mergeable state. Thanks for your patience!

xcas still works ☑

[collares]

@symphorien Thanks for checking! In a sense giac is the most annoying part, because the nofltk patch was not updated so we cannot run tests on fltk-less giac anymore (but we can on giac-with-xcas, which should be enough). I will look into updating the patch, which is why I replaced the fetchpatch by including the file itself.

[omasanori]

Heads up: with a single user installation, the store is actually readwrite, and python likes to corrupt the store by compiling pyc files inside it. This can cause strange side effects.

Thank you @symphorien, I did not know this.

Anyway, the failures I am facing occur with or without changes on this branch, so it does not introduce regression on my machine, at least. I have no objections and will approve after rebasing to resolve conflicts.

@omasanori Rebased. I was going to wait for the cysignals update but I don't think it matters much since I had already imported the relevant patch. So I think this is ready if it passes tests.

[omasanori]

Thank you all so much for your invaluable help!

[collares]

@omasanori You're welcome! Thanks for the review. I'll make another PR updating cypari2, eclib pari (all of which will require adding some sort of patching) and cysignals (which will allow us to remove a patch) as soon as upstream finishes up the pari upgrade.

[symphorien]

So I think this is ready if it passes tests.

it passes tests so let me merge.
