It's a curse, to be precise, and it slows down the project a lot. We have to worry about over 400 packages!!!

You need to package a number of external libraries in your bundle, why do you need them to be built all at the same swoop? If a commercial vendor gives you a library, without full source, then you cannot package it in your app? Sorry, this sounds rather improbable. Can't you base your app on a Python.org Python bundle, instead, to begin with? > > I am serving people who use macOS; more than 8.800 of them in the case of > Sage 10.1.

They might well be using Conda. And Homebrew users might very well build Sage from source, as it's relatively quick thanks to a large number of libraries they can use. > > When I started this project you were griping about how many sage-support > problems were related to macOS installation.
