It looks like this is in sage-spkg, which uses grep to see if the given package name has a hyphen in it: if there's a hyphen, then the name is presumably of the form NAME-VERSION. As far as I can tell, the version is not actually used, just whether there is a hyphen. So replacing "grep -o -" with "grep -" might fix it. Note that this is consistent with valgrind, which has the misformed name "valgrind_3.3.1", using an underscore instead of a hyphen. That should be fixed. Other spkg names like "jsmath-image-fonts-1.4.p3" should probably be changed to "jsmath_image_fonts-1.4.p3", replacing all hyphens not preceding the version number to underscores. This is the first time I've looked at sage-spkg, though, so I could be wrong about this. -- John -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
