+1, and maybe also consider moving $(PKGCONF) to "base" and removing the explicit dependencies on it, so that minor changes to this package don't force rebuilding essentially all of Sage. (That's how "base" works, right? A change to "patch" won't force a rebuild for everything else?) -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
