I came across the following in the Sage Developer guide:
- If your package depends on another package, say boehmgc, then you
should check that this other package has been installed. Your
``spkg-install`` script should check that it exists, with code
like the following:
::
BOEHM_GC=`cd $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/; ./newest_version boehm_gc`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Failed to find boehm_gc. Please install the boehm_gc spkg"
exit 1
fi
Only *one* package does this, namely PPL. Since I think this is neither
needed not used, I propose to remove this. I would also like to get rid
of the newest_version script (#10492).
