That's certainly all true. In fact, the Debian patches ( https://sources.debian.org/patches/tachyon/0.99~b6+dsx-12/) already carry out this autotoolization of the package (though I haven't looked at the details at all). But even if done, it remains that tachyon is a package that as of 2024 it does not appear to be used by anyone else (at least in the Python "ecosystem"). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
