Gap 4.6.3 upgrade

[vbraun]

And now MPIR defines __GNU_MP_RELEASE so the __GMP_MP_RELEASE hack is not needed anymore here or in gap spkg.

• GAP spkg:  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/spkg/gap-4.6.3.p0.spkg
• LibGAP spkg:  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/spkg/libgap-4.6.3.p0.spkg
•  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/spkg/gap_packages-4.6.3.spkg
•  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/vbraun/spkg/database_gap-4.6.3.spkg
• Apply trac_14039_doctest_fixes.patch to the Sage library

[jdemeyer]

Would this require also an upgrade of gap_packages?

[jdemeyer]

Volker, any idea what to do about this:

sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/groups/libgap_wrapper.pyx"

    You are running a GAP kernel which does not fit with the library.
    Probably you forgot to apply the kernel part or the library part
    of a bugfix?

    If you are using Windows, make sure you installed the file
    wbin4r6n2.zoo (or .zip),
    Macintosh users make sure the file
    bin4r6n2-PPC.sit (or -68k.sit) is installed,
    Unix users please recompile.

Running ./sage -b doesn't really do much, could there be some dependencies missing?

[vbraun]

LibGAP needs to be kept in sync since it uses the GAP library from the stand-alone GAP install. I can update libgap...

Replying to vbraun:

OK, sounds good.

[vbraun]

• The gap_packages and database_gap spkgs might need to be updated.
• Changes are not checked in

[vbraun]

I've added the corresponding libgap spkg. I didn't make any real changes, only applied the GAP 4.5.7->4.6.2 diffs.

[vbraun]

For the record: I based the libgap spkg on the libgap version that awaits review at #14014.

There are a few doctests that fail because of changed GAP notation for some group elements.

[jdemeyer]

Does this really depend on #14014? If not, could you upgrade the libGAP spkg to 4.6.3?

[vbraun]

gap, libgap, database_gap, and gap_packages must be kept in sync.

[jdemeyer]

Replying to vbraun:

gap, libgap, database_gap, and gap_packages must be kept in sync.

Sure. I can do all packages except for libGAP.

[vbraun]

The patch depends on #14014

[vbraun]

The siginterrupt.patch has been upstreamed

[vbraun]

Updated patch

[vbraun]

All doctests pass for me...

[Snark]

I combined those packages and patches with those of ticket #14014, and things compile and doctest (except the quadratic forms ones which fail on this box anyway).

I'm not sure I can give a positive review though: the patches change the result of many tests, and I have no idea if they really replace a correct value by another correct value...
