Victor (ntl upstream) is now on the sage-devel mailing list and is ready to help sage move on. Sage and packages used by sage are his main consumer after all. But right now no one has started the transistion. I think I may make noise for sage 6.7, at the moment we are re-organizing some of the code wrapping ntl and it may not be advisable to change the version at the same time. The following packages also need checking: flint singular (does 4.* depend on ntl as well) eclib linbox I'll have a look at the one that still belong to the s-o-g overlay. Francois
