I have made a lot of fixes to my autotools spkg, essentially improving it from a "proof of concept" to a "real" spkg. For this reason, I would like to move the package from experimental to optional.
The main change is that the package now ships an auto-generated Makefile to build the various different versions of autotools, with correct dependencies (e.g. autoconf-2.62 depends on automake-1.10). This made the packaging process a lot more involved, but the spkg-install is much simplified (it essentially just executes make). I added Texinfo to the package, since that's a prerequisite and it's also often used for bootstrapping packages, so it fits with the theme. There are also a lot of small fixes to make the package more portable, it no longer requires GNU-specific tools. Indeed, it now builds on all buildbot systems that I tried (sage, rosemary, iras, bsd, moufang, mark, hawk). Please review this *optional* package: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13557 Thanks, Jeroen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
