GAP 4.9 beta is already out.
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by
I suggest getting GAP 4.8.10 in Sage 8.2, if it's not too much work, since:
- GAP 4.9 might still be in beta when Sage 8.2 is released.
- GAP 4.9 has major changes, so #22626 (Upgrade to GAP 4.9) might take time.

Although the release of GAP 4.9.1 is approaching, I don't know if it will still be a beta or considered the official 4.9 release.
It might still be possible to get GAP 4.8.10 in Sage 8.2. What are the steps to produce tarballs for database_gap, gap_packages, libgap?

Updating libgap is potentially time-consuming and error-prone. See https://bitbucket.org/vbraun/libgap

Hard to know in advance, but one might hope that minor version bumps in GAP would be relatively easy to deal with.
The upgrade to GAP 4.8.10 in the ArchLinux packaging of SageMath seems pretty straightforward:

This looks fishy - just version bumps...
comment:8 Changed 3 years ago by
Worse than fishy: plain wrong!
It looks like they took the 4.8.6 tarball and artificially renamed it 4.8.10.

In Debian they use GAP 4.8.8, does that mean they produced libgap for 4.8.8?

Probably they did. Last time I worked on upgrade to 4.8.6, I used Debian's work, IIRC.

Just noting #13426, which adds more things to gap_packages.

Sebastian Gutsche produced a tentative tarball for libgap-4.8.10: https://bitbucket.org/sebasguts/libgap/downloads/libgap-4.8.10.tar.gz
comment:15 Changed 3 years ago by
We should note that the only thing changing since 4.8.8 is the packages distributed with gap. https://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/doc/changes/chap2.html#X803A9F0685295E01
Core gap code and databases have not changed since 4.8.8. The libgap for 4.8.8 that debian made should be identical for 4.8.10.

Thanks François for the info.
The branch as is is not yet functional, as libgap needs to be the same version as gap. Sebastian's libgap above is missing the prefixing; he will work on this tonight, and then I'll update this branch and rerun the tests.

Did the prefixing happen in the end? What remains to be done here?
