Oh, you're right. Would it be better just to specify an absolute pathname? Or to use "tee -a install.log" but to add parentheses or something to make it clearer how the commands are to be parsed? > So the question becomes: do we want to write "tee -a ../install.log" or > "tee -a install.log" if we want install.log to appear in the *current* > directory? Does it matter that much, as long as it's documented? Right now it is already documented in Makefile, and it should be better documented in pipestatus itself. -- John -- 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
