Preparation
First using a needle or a toothpick click a button on the right side of the laptop (indicated by a bent arrow), this will start the machine up in BIOS selection menu where you choose the BIOS setup option.
Then, in the BIOS menu disable option to check laptop charge level while it is shut down. If not disabled it will interfere with key combination that has to be pressed while laptop is shut down. This can be turned back after the advanced BIOS menu is enabled.
After that "Exit saving changes" and shutdown.
Keys
I thought it was a joke at first but it really is true that a special combination of keys has to be pressed depending on the laptop model (while it is shut down).
For my laptop it is as follows:
|
|
F4 4 r f v
F5 5 t g b
F6 6 y h n

Also, the application might need to reference a PID file, let systemD know abut it via PIDFile.

Intro
Sage may be available on your distro but on Gentoo such frivolities for students are not there yet, so I had to install it the manual way.
User
I went to the Sage website, to the "download-source" link. The source mirror I picked was France.
Ok, so let's follow Sage Math build instructions and get it going
|
|
wget www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/math/sagemath/src/sage-9.2.tar.gz
tar xvf sage-9.2.tar.gz
cd sage-9.2
./configure
make
|
And now, let's wait…
Portage
After a long, long, long time waiting I remembered that there existed a Gentoo overlay for Sage. And in the meantime I thought I'd try that solution instead since some good Gentoo people already did most of the effort.
Just a few files to edit…

Now - let's build Sage with Portage!
>>> Emerging (1 of 100) sci-mathematics/cliquer–1.21::gentoo
At least I know more or less how long I'm going to wait and know what exactly fails to build, if anything does.
Final
Build
$ qlop -tv sage
> 2021–03–23T20:49:12 >>> sci-mathematics/sage–9999: 55′04″
Git stats
Overlays
This info we can easily gather with executing:
Gentoo' HEAD: 33f2d770c28307b1e9a1199c681e1c543602c6d4
Sage-on-Gentoo's HEAD: f7eac5b7e1a844132164b7593dab85cd87918664
Sage
Sage repository's HEAD (because we are using the live (9999) ebuild):

|
cat /var/cache/distfiles/git3-src/sagemath_sage.git/refs/heads/develop

Which returns: 5cb72aade9b297c10bb0f1ae8529466e5b5eb41d
