The third issue I se with sage-4.4.2-alpha0 is the following. I did the usual " export SAGE_BINARY_BUILD=yes " (the PIL spkg does not build for me without this additional environment variable, something that is "accepted") and " export MAKE='make -j2' " (my machine has a Core2Duo CPU, so there), an

On MacIntel OS X 10.4, building sage-4.4.2.alpha0 from scratch, the build finishes, but I see three new issues. I'll describe them in three different posts.

Does feature freeze mean that patches adding lots of doctests will not be included? I spent hours on http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8799 after a request to work on the worst offenders, but no-one has reviewed it yet. It is 99% in the docstrings so would not be a hard job... John On
