There's probably an hours work by either stephen@ or myself to adapt the work I did on cephes in Sage to a standalone FreeBSD port. Unfortunately, both stephen@ & I are currently otherwise occupied and other comments in this thread suggest that the inclusion of such a port would be strongly opposed. Note that cephes isn't "slow but accurate" - it's reasonably fast but naive and therefore dodgy in edge cases. --=20 Peter Jeremy --uQr8t48UFsdbeI+V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk/JWG0ACgkQ/opHv/APuIfb6gCfXedEo3q0EWmYOkWEfCYDsRMD KyMAoJ4uFpPKly01I9kjzOBjHS+henGt =S8/X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uQr8t48UFsdbeI+V--
