I'll finish this up (cleaning out all the binaries, etc) and post it. It should be way smaller too. I've been trying to figure out how to make an spkg for the apache ant project. The problem is that ant requires xerces binaries to build, but to build xerces requires one needs. They're both projects of the Apache foundation, and ship with (minimal) binaries of each other. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
