Of the three, only Sage is a source-based distribution. homebrew is primarily a binary distribution. Users install "bottles". See https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#why-should-i-install-homebrew-in-the-default-location, and users are actively discouraged to report failures that happen when building from source. conda-forge is also primarily a binary distribution. They have a sophisticated build process that builds binaries on Azure. https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/infrastructure.html#azure-pipelines That's exactly why we are increasingly promoting the use of conda-forge for installing Sage. Installation is very fast exactly because users install prebuilt packages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
