- Cc Snark added
- Status changed from new to needs_info
Puttins as need-info, since there's a pending question: does flint 2.3 make it possible to get flintqs out?

I think FLINT 2.3 provides a quadratic sieve implementation but only for two limbs integers. See:
So I guess the answer is currently no. We'll have to wait until Bill or someone else ports the old code.
(FLINT 1.6 included a quadratic sieve to build as a separate executable, see:
- http://www.flintlib.org/flint-1.6.pdf, section 18, page 64;
as did FLINT 1.5.2 (latest version included in Sage):
- http://www.flintlib.org/flint-1.5.2.pdf, section 14, page 57.)
