I think there are some issues with this: 1) The src/ directory needs be under Mercurial version control. This would increase the size of the spkgs by quite a bit. 2) Many patches only need to be applied conditionally based on the runtime environment. This can't happen with a queue unless Mercurial is already installed. If we just use the patches/ directory when there are conditionally applied patches, then we're in the same situation as we are now. --Mike -- 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
