If this (and any other similar) change is made, it needs to be made in a way that doesn't mess up the binaries we build. The binaries that are built for generic redistribution should have everything built by default. Build machines will likely have git installed, but a random user installing Sage from a binary could easily not have git on their target system. -- william > > Ralf > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
