It's a curse, to be precise, and it slows down the project a lot. We have to worry about over 400 packages!!! Bloody hell, pardon my UK French, we have more interesting problems to work on... FWIW, I consider Marc's effort to provide a self-contained macOS app of Sage to be very valuable for the project. Dima is indeed using the word "vendor" incorrectly. I'm not concerned about the grammar; I use it as a verb, too, in this specific context. For source code, "vendoring" (= including a copy of the source code of a dependency, modified or not, in the source code) is problematic for various well known reasons. But to accuse a binary distribution of "vendoring" is simply meaningless. A binary distribution is made for the benefit of users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
