Hello Rogério,
You are right that I don't have the time to maintain sagemath -- I'd be
very happy to move to a team maintenance structure. I've copied several
folks who have expressed interest in updating the Sage packaging over the
last few weeks, who may help provide the initial team.
There's a mailing list debian-s...@googlegroups.com that originally
gathered to discuss packaging Sage in Debian, and probably is reasonable
to use for this purpose for now.
Given the time I have available at this stage, I imagine that my role will
primarily be explaining extensive documentation of how the current
packaging structure works (and publishing some of my current partial work
somewhere), and the actual work of updating the software will need to be
done by others. I'm also happy to help with making uploads happen to the
packages I currently maintain as needed.
Is anyone interested in organizing the effort?
-Tim Abbott
p.s. when replying to this thread, please try to not drop all the other
lists from the thread.
