Given that t2.math is down at the moment, reviewing your spkg would have to wait for some time. I've had little to not input at all in porting any of the spkg's to Solaris. But I really appreciate that you have taken the time to do the porting work. Reading through your comments and emails, I've learnt many valuable tips. One in particular is to avoid Bashism in shell scripts so as to make one's shell scripts more portable to other platforms. This has made me more aware of non-portable features I use my shell scripts, prompted me to read up on ways to write portable scripts, and helped me to learn about virtues of portability. A big thank you to you. If we ever meet in meatspace, either at a Sage Days conference or somewhere else, I would buy you your favourite beverage. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
