The current sagemath rpm is a little bit old and have not support Fedora 39 yet sagemath package versions - Repology
I want to package it to version 10.2 on Fedora 39. I am using it on the $ make -j12 && make install way and it runs well.
The problems are, who desides whether I can upload my rpm? How can I upload my built rpm to Fedora noarch repo?

See Fedora Packaging Guidelines :: Fedora Docs

Alternatively, you can make your build available in a copr repo: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/

Did you actually see the existing Sagemath build/repo on copr? qsx42/sagemath Copr

4

I won’t use copr repo because the copr repo download speed is way more slower than 3rd party Fedora repo e.g. this repo can reach 200Mbps. I will pack rpm and upload to package SCM.

5

Maybe. don’t know what aliyun is, is it an official repo mirror server?

what is SCM?

6

Added package-maintainers

7

I mean this git SCM

8

Aliyun is a brand of Alibaba, it hosts a lot of mirror repos.

9

at least it’s not an official Fedora mirror, so I personally wouldn’t trust it.

10

It supports GPG key check, so you may trust its safety.

related topic: Will sagemath return to the Fedora 39 repository?

12

My compiled sagemath runs under Python 3.12 and I didn’t meet the promblems from that topic. Except that warning, even Windows (msys64) version has that warning but it can still call up picture viewer and generate pictures, so that’s not a problem for me at last.
I think my env is good for pack sagemath rpm.

It sounds like you are not a Fedora packager yet. If that is the case, please start working your way through this process: Joining the Package Maintainers :: Fedora Docs. Feel free to ask questions, or ask for help if you get stuck on something.

Ok I will pack it in a few days

Since the rpm of cypari2 is retired too and it is a Python package, which means,

$ pip install cypari2

or

$ pip install cypari2-x.x.x.tar.gz

cannot be installed into /usr/lib64/python3.12/xxx, I’m not able to pass the make process.

Looks like SageMath 10.3 will support pyhton 3.12 … ReleaseTours - Sagemath Wiki … maybe … Python 3.12.x by mkoeppe · Pull Request #36181 · sagemath/sage · GitHub

Working on 10.3 makes more sense as the experts are heavily involved and will help with problems,
while for 10.2 you have less active support.

Part of packaging sagemath is making sure the required packages are available. If you are going to maintain sagemath, you should plan to take over cypari2. For testing, you can install cypari2 locally using a conda environment:

% conda activate
(base) [gnw3@cerberusf39]~% pip install cypari2 
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

I recommend getting sagemath 10.3 working in a conda env first, then move to packaging as rpm’s any missing required packages and finally, sagemath.

Version 10.3 has been out for over a month now. Is anybody seriously considering bringing sagemath back to Fedora? I’ve been holding on to some packages solely for the purpose of supporting a sagemath revival. If nobody is really going to do it, I am going to orphan those packages.

I would ask that question in Project Discussion

There is active work going on in the Sagemath repo where people are trying to get Sagemath building in Fedora.

For instance: `build/pkgs/{python3,setuptools}`: Update fedora distro info by mkoeppe · Pull Request #37833 · sagemath/sage · GitHub and Fedora 40 and gcc 14 · Issue #37698 · sagemath/sage · GitHub

I mentioned in another thread a while ago (and emailed you about it) that I was considering packaging Sagemath on Fedora. After looking into why it’s so hard to build (Sagemath has a very complex build system) I think that it’s beyond what I’m able to do, but it looks like others are trying to get it building on Fedora, presumably to try to then package it.
