As part of this thread, I'd again ask for a discussion of the following situation I asked in the other thread. Dima had some interesting points about a less-vendored approach saving disk space etc., but it would be helpful to have input from people who have had to install Sage in these kinds of situations en masse. Separately, I'm also wondering about the Windows situation since much of the world, for better or worse, is not on Linux.
"At least in the not too distant past there have been situations where the non-requirement of internet connectivity alleviated issues of limited internet accessibility in a given locale, limited download speeds, limited grid electricity, etc. This policy just as much affects those situations, and perhaps some people who have installed Sage in such environments (including Sage Days and other events) might want to weigh in on that, and whether such situations still obtain (as I personally assume they must certainly do). I figure three-letter agencies have people with the skills to get around not using pip install, but if your downloads are over a mobile network (or, for that matter, Project Kuiper or Starlink or whatever), you might still want to download Sage - especially now that we don't have binary installs "provided"." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
