I've created an updated readline package to attempt to get a better solution
(less of a hack), to the issues on openSUSE 11.2, 11.3 and Arch Linux.
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/readline-6.1.spkg
Parallel builds are enabled, which should allow it to build faster than the old
version, though it is a small package, so the amount of time gained is small
(just 8 seconds on my machine).
Anyway, if people could test if it builds, it would be useful to know. Ideally
if the doc tests pass too, though I realise that is much more time consuming.
I tested a slightly earlier version on numerous platforms, but Leif wanted some
changes and I've only tested this on OpenSolaris. I have however built is 100
times without any failures.
If
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/readline-6.1.spkg
works for everyone, it would be nice to get
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9523
positively reviewed. Then the next release of Sage can have a newer readline,
which wont needs hacks for openSUSE and Arch Linux.
