This would allow a more efficient and "cleaner" build, greater #   flexibility and the possibility to select which dependencies to add and which #   to remove. It would also allow to use system packages for some dependencies #   and recompile others (optimized for the system) without recompiling everything. # - add optdeps: #   - imagemagick #   - texlive full for documentation #   - ... # - further seperate build outputs. Also maybe run `make doc`. #   Configure flags like --bindir and --libdir oculd also be used for that, see #   ./configure --help`. # Other resources: # - https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Sage # - https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo # - https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/sagemath { stdenv , fetchurl , perl , gfortran , python , autoreconfHook , gettext </ins> , which <ins> , texlive , hevea </ins> }: stdenv.mkDerivation rec { <del> name = "sage-6.8"; </del> <ins> version = "8.0"; name = "sage-${version}"; </ins> src = fetchurl { <del> url = "http://old.files.sagemath.org/src-old/${name}.tar.gz"; sha256 = "102mrzzi215g1xn5zgcv501x9sghwg758jagx2jixvg1rj2jijj9"; </del> <ins> # Note that the source is *not* fetched from github, since that doesn't # the upstream folder with all the source tarballs of the spkgs. # If those are not present they are fetched at build time, which breaks # when building in a sandbox (and probably only works if you install the # latest sage version). urls = [ "http://mirrors.mit.edu/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/misc/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://sagemath.polytechnic.edu.na/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "ftp://ftp.sun.ac.za/pub/mirrors/www.sagemath.org/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://sagemath.mirror.ac.za/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/packages/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirror.ufs.ac.za/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirrors-usa.go-parts.com/sage/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://files.sagemath.org/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirrors.xmission.com/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://sagemath.c3sl.ufpr.br/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://linorg.usp.br/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirror.hust.edu.cn/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.kaist.ac.kr/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.riken.jp/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.tsukuba.wide.ad.jp/software/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/pub/math/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/sage.math.washington.edu/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://sage.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.sagemath.org/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "https://mirrors.up.pt/pub/sage/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/math/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" "http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/sagemath/src/sage-${version}.tar.gz" ]; sha256 = "1a9rhb8jby6fdqa2s7n2fl9jwqqlsl7qz7dbpbwvg6jwlrvni7fg"; </ins> }; <del> buildInputs = [ m4 perl gfortran texlive.combined.scheme-basic ffmpeg gnused_422 tk imagemagick liblapack python openssl libpng which ]; </del> <ins> postPatch = '' substituteAllInPlace src/bin/sage-env ''; </ins> <del> patches = [ ./spkg-singular.patch ./spkg-python.patch ./spkg-git.patch ]; </del> <ins> installPhase = '' # Sage installs during first `make`, `make install` is no-op and just takes time.
