+Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under
+the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages
+into a common Python-based interface.
+
+Sage can be used in several ways: through an interactive command line,
+by writing stand-alone scripts, through the graphical notebook
+interface in a browser, or through the KDE Cantor application (part
+of a full Slackware installation).
+
+This SlackBuild repackages an already-built binary package which
+exceeds 1.5GB in size, and the resulting Slackware package uses >5GB
+disk space.
+
+To upgrade from the previous source-built Sage package from SBo, use
+the upgradepkg command like this:
+
+  upgradepkg sage%sage-bin-8.3-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
+
+After installing or upgrading, you will need to logout or reboot so
+that sage is found in your path.
+
+Sage's default colour scheme is for a terminal with a light background.
+For a dark backgrounded terminal you may prefer the scheme after
+issuing:
+
+  mkdir -p ~/.sage; echo "%colors Linux" >> ~/.sage/init.sage
+
+For 32-bit i686, the most recent binary package is version 8.2. You can
+download sage-8.2-Debian_GNU_Linux_8-i686.tar.bz2 and then use this
+SlackBuild as follows:
+
+  VERSION=8.2 DEBVERSION=8 ARCH=i686 ./sage-bin.SlackBuild
