Sad enough, a known issue (since February). Some people have written to freenode multiple times, no response / progress so far AFAIK. -Leif P.S.: There's an alternate channel (#sagemath) owned by Harald Schilly and Dan Drake, but few people use it... (and it seems even less want to leave #sage-devel ;-) ). -- 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
