Add debian/fedora/arch package information to build/pkgs, generate Dockerfiles and installation help

[mkoeppe]

​https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#linux-recommended-installation gives apt-get install and yum install command lines to install system packages that will be recognized by build/pkgs/SPKG/spkg-configure.m4.

Several packages are missing, see comments in ​https://trac.sagemath.org/attachment/ticket/27824/Dockerfile-ubuntu-minimal

This ticket puts this information on a per-package basis into build/pkgs/SPKG/debian.txt, .../fedora.txt, .../arch.txt for the following purposes:

• sage -info SPKG prints out this information.
• Provide a tox.ini that generates and runs Dockerfiles that test the installation on various systems. Example (running 3 builds in parallel):

     $ tox -p auto -e archlinux-latest,ubuntu-focal-minimal,debian-buster-maximal
  ⠸
  

Incidental change on this ticket:

• Mark gfortran as a type=standard package. It is a prereq of standard package numpy. Its status as a type=optional package predates the clarifications brought by the development of the spkg-configure.m4 mechanism (#27330).

---

Possible follow-up and related tickets:

• Also the apt-cyg command lines at ​https://trac.sagemath.org/wiki/Cygwin64Port could be generated in the same way.
• Aggregate and format it (during ./bootstrap) to produce the command lines shown in the manual. This ticket already prepares it by moving these command lines into separate .txt files.
• #29041: at ./bootstrap time, generate src/requirements.txt, src/constraints.txt, src/setup.cfg [install_requires] from build/pkgs
• #28745: Add SAGE_ROOT/environment.yml for conda env create -f.

how do you generate these per package?

by the way, Arch has namewise a naming scheme close to Gentoo and Homebrew.

Replying to dimpase:

I created these files by manual copy-paste from the installation manual.

gf2x 1.3.0 is also on Arch, so you can add it (package name gf2x). It'll work after #29081 is merged.

You've changed build/pkgs/gfortran/type to standard - is this intentional?

[mkoeppe]

Replying to dimpase:

Yes - it's an intended correction.

Yes - it's an intended correction.

can this be documented - ideally both here and in the commit message?

I guess it was optional just as it predated the spkg-configure.m4 machinery, and it was not fixed then, right?

The commit message already says:

​97b09de	Make gfortran a standard package - it is a prereq of standard package numpy

I guess it was optional just as it predated the spkg-configure.m4 machinery, and it was not fixed then, right?

Yes, I agree with this theory.
