Joel and Martin, David Harvey, Craig Citro, and I were just discussing sage_c_lib, and we think it was a design mistake to make it a completely separate package. It would instead make much more sense if it were part of the hg_sage repository. I.e., a clean version of the directory SAGE_ROOT/devel/c_lib/ should be a subdirectory of SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/, and SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/spkg-install should install both, and setup.py should be extended to build the c_lib if it changes. Moreover, spkg-dist in SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage should of course package up the c_lib directory. This way when somebody wants to write code that involves both c_lib and the normal SAGE library (something that is very common), only a single hg repository is involved. I don't mind losing the revision history for c_lib, since it's in the old SAGE tarballs anyways. Thoughts?! Optimally you could read the above, see if it makes sense, let me know what you think... and best yet Joel could actually do the above. The result could be sent to me as as single hg_sage patch bundle. -- William On 8/1/07, David Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi william, > > Joel has reorganised the sage_c_lib spkg and added a few extra goodies. > We had some issues with sage-2.6, but it works now with sage-2.7.2. > I've reviewed it to my satisfaction.
