So I won't say he's gone.
When I sent him the pull request he said he wasn't really active and asked if I wanted to be the maintainer. I could certainly be *a* maintainer, though I'm not too familiar with the code. Luckily emacs-lisp is really easy to debug. I'll see if I can reproduce this. FWIW, I've been meaning to make an spkg with my changes (adding AUCTeX support for SageTeX). It would also include customization of the preamble and possibly a fix for this problem. I've also been considering adding it to one of the package.el repositories (probably MELPA). Do emacs users think this would be a better/easier way to get sage-mode? For me I think it would be easier since I wouldn't have to run `sage -i sage-mode` whenever I install a new version of sage. OTOH, I also have to install gap-packages, so perhaps I should just add a feature to sage that installs a list of packages (if they aren't already) upon startup or installation. Or hopefully it's already there and someone will point it out to me. :-) -Ivan -- 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
