I agree with John that one shouldn't have to wait forever for a recompilation - during which it is presumably not safe to try other branches on the same Sage install? - when just checking a minor change. I also now always *review* by branching from develop and then pulling the branch to that 'safe' branch, but even then when I go back to develop sometimes it takes exceedingly long. See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-devel/iGxa2F01rFc/ERRec52gHY0J Also part of the problem is the use of 'make' that is recommended; I've gone back to sage -b and sometimes that helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
