in my proposal, the tarball is produced by running spkg-src off a git repo, which in turn invokes autoconf/automake. This git repo may be put e.g. on github.com/sagemath/ to give it more clout. The exciting alternative approach proposed by Jeroen is patching makefiles, and possibly other parts of upstream, by hand. Now it's your choice, folks, I rest my case here. > Nathann > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
