I have a Sage policy proposal: - For any new standard Sage package PKG, we strongly recommend, require if at all possible, that the package comes with an spkg-configure.m4 script in build/pkgs/PKG. There should also be a directory build/pkgs/PKG/distros.
Neither the spkg-configure.m4 file nor the distros directory seems to be documented anywhere, so https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30543 adds documentation for these and also states this new "policy". (It's not really a policy, just a strong recommendation. Some packages are written explicitly for Sage or otherwise won't have good system replacements, so I don't think we should require it.) If you approve, I would also request that you, as Sage developers, pay attention when you're reviewing tickets. If someone is proposing a new standard package, please keep this policy in mind. -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
