Thats no more correct on gentoo - I have written a set of sed commands which fixes this behaviour: http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/blob/master/sci-mathematics/sympow/sympow-1.018.ebuild (see lines 27 to 55). I think this could be adapted for Sage, too, but this would be more difficult because one cannot assume ${SAGE_LOCAL} to be /. > No idea why the current scheme was chosen in sage, because of the datafiles > you obviously don't want to put everything into $SAGE_LOCAL/bin. > > Francois > > -- > 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 athttp://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL:http://www.sagemath.org -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
