I think we should wait with that a little bit until #9530 [1] has a positive review (a 4.6 blocker, making smaller changes to the current readline spkg to quickly get Sage 4.6 work on openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3), and then (slightly) rebase #9523 on #9530. -Leif [1] http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9530 -- 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
