The following came to light while woring on #9343 (pari upgrade) which
I thought deserved a wider circulation. John
Amazing discovery -- the script spkg-install is VERY broken, even the one
currently distributed with sage 4.5! (pari-2.3.5.p1)
There are several lines like
{{{
# pjeremy: fix for FreeBSD: #7825
cp "$TOP"/patches/get_kernel config/
}}}
which should say
{{{
# pjeremy: fix for FreeBSD: #7825
cp "$TOP"/patches/get_kernel src/config/
}}}
(note the missing "src").
If I am right, how come anything works? I mean, if these patches are
supposedly essential, but are in effect not being applied, maybe they are
not so essential after all?
I can change these to be "correct"; but am more tempted to delete them
and see what happens...thoughts?
