Thanks a lot for this! Some of us have talked a lot about trying to make conda packages for Sage and its dependencies. It's definitely an idea I support, at least in principle. Just nobody until now (that I know of) has taken the time to sit down and actually try to do it. Part of the problem is that not many of us are that familiar with conda. I'm mostly familiar with it by using it, but it's been years since I've made a package for it (last time I did the project was still in its infancy and I had to ask directly for their build tools). I would definitely be interested in helping with this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
