https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/32532 <https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/32532#comment:21> proposes to remove these packages as not needed, and a huge time sink for everyone involved.
Rationale: nowadays every platform that Sage supports has said tools (or their equivalents - e.g. clang/clang++ in case of macOS and FreeBSD) available, if not outright as a system package, but surely with a very minimal effort. There is no need to carry this baggage forward. Moreover, it seems that Sage is the only Python library/platform around which (potentially) vendors gcc/g++/gfortran. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
