Hi,
We are building sage as part of a development environment which we'd
like to be isolated (as much as possible) from the rest of the system,
and on which users might have system-wide versions of sage other than
the one we installed in this special environment.
Is it possible when compiling Sage, or as an option when running it,
to force it to always take a particular given directory as the
configuration ".sage" directory rather than creating it in the user's
home directory?
The user writes to things in the .sage directory quite a bit, though.
For example, matplotlib updates cache files in that directory, the
user's sage notebook is written in that directory, and I believe quite a
few other applications write cache files and such into that directory.
Are you proposing another location that each user will have a personal
directory?
You could always make a user's .sage directory a symbolic link to a
central location.
Thanks,
Jason
