Setting this to "needs review" since the MPIR 2.1.3.p4 from #8664 got positive review again, though so far only by a single reviewer.

The current packages are mainly meant for testing the new upstream releases, hopefully on a variety of platforms supported by Sage; some improvements or changes to Sage's part will most probably follow.

It would just be nice to relatively early know whether any of them (more important, MPIR 2.4.0) causes any problems on one of our platforms. (MPIR 2.5.0 is scheduled for September 1st, which isn't that far...)

    1111You may want to give them a try ''now'' though. (The former is just intended as a "fallback" spkg in case problems introduced in the latter should arise.)

    13 The list of changes between MPIR 2.1.3 (more precisely, 2.1.1) and MPIR 2.4.0 is fairly long, so I haven't put them into the description. I'll perhaps attach them as a text file later. 
     13The list of changes between MPIR 2.1.3 (more precisely, 2.1.1) and MPIR 2.4.0 is fairly long, so I haven't put them into the description, but [attachment:MPIR_upstream_changes_between_2.1.1_and_2.4.0.txt attached them] in a plain text file.

    1515For instructions on how to install / test the spkgs please see #8664, as these two also require the new GMP-ECM 6.3.p2 spkg from #5847 and two patches to the Sage library (one from each ticket); a Sage 4.7.1.rc0 (Sage library) spkg with these two patches already applied [comment:ticket:8664:114 is also available] ''there''.

     17Note that #5847 technically again '''needs review''' because I had to rebase the trivial one-line patch attached there.
