It means the following will not happen anymore: $ ./sage -i package.spkg ************************************************************************ You must compile Sage first using 'make' in the Sage root directory. (If you have already compiled Sage, you must set the SAGE_ROOT variable in the file './sage'). ************************************************************************
Instead, "./sage -i" will work the same way as it works now *after* building Sage. The patch does not change the functionality of "sage -i", it just allows it to be run from the beginning. For example, we needed to test the > new sagenb spkg in a clean install (i.e., without installing the old > sagenb spkg). Would we be able to do that with this option above? I don't think so, as "sage -i" doesn't install dependencies. The recommended way to do what you want is to replace the sagenb.spkg in spkg/standard *before* building. -- 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
