Conda is also multi-platform. A packaging of sagemath through conda is (or at least should be) usable on both linux and OSX. Doesn't that make it a more attractive target than homebrew? Also, why not package sage in multiple ways if there's a taste for it? Like the packaging in linux distributions¸ it doesn't all need to be done by the core sage team, but probably at least one or a few should be, to guarantee that there's actually a way to get sage working for many people. As long as someone volunteers to maintain a packaging method, what's the downside of having it? If there are people to maintain both homebrew and conda, can't we just do both? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
