Can we remove it from the README?
ranlib is a standard tool, and is used by various build systems. On Debian it's a part of binutils package. README is not platform-specific, and it does not tell you to install *package* called ranlib. However, we should add there an advice to look for what packages to install in build/pkgs/_prereq/distros/ (e.g. for Debian it's in build/pkgs/_prereq/distros/debian.txt) (Once our GitHub is live in few days, it's a very quick PR to do :-)) > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-release" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-release+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sage-release/d6aecaee-279a-45f8-a645-36483d72a382n%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
