is not what I tried to say. What I tried to say is that the core distribution should have minimal dependencies, but contain as much of sage as possible. I don't see any advantage of restricting to a smaller subset. That the much smaller subset actually works is a key technological achievement of the modularization project. The small size is favorable for maintainability, for porting to new platforms, etc. What do you have in mind people would do with just the stuff in `categories`? As the dependency diagram shows -- it works as the common dependency of various other distributions. Likewise, it will also suffice as the build dependency of user packages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
