Oops, here #2: Two things I should have mentioned in the first mail: 1) The only difference in the sage build scripts (outside of c_lib) are the call to "make install" in the setup.py and a call to configure in the spkg-install. I don't know quite if I put configure in the correct place. My testing indicates that running ./spkg-install can rebuild from scratch though. 2) As to the scons convert (if you would think it reasonable idea), scons distributes a "scons-local" build that is designed to be distributed in a tarball with your project. As a .tar.gz file, this is about 280kb-- compared to about 1.2mb for the configure script and associated crud. Thus users do not need scons installed at all. -- Joel On Thursday 02 August 2007 18:41, you wrote: > 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.
