[Debian-science-sagemath] givaro/fflas-ffpack/linbox

[François Bissey]

I feel that I should point out something at this stage.
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/24214#comment:17
Upstream has decided to patch the version of linbox in sage
while they are working on a better solution upstream. 
However last I have heard there is nothing to show upstream.
So plain upstream linbox will probably break some doctests.

However, in the past these three programs needed to be updated together so I would be careful. Also sagemath needs a few code changes for the update [1]. Do you agree with uploading to experimental?
