No, this won't fly. This is going to break the already fragile logic behind package types. Standard packages cannot be optionally installed, so it can't stay standard. Optional packages probably cannot appear in toolchain. Etc etc. You really want an entirely new package type; you have a single-consumer issue, and you want everyone to run circles around you so that you yourself can do as little extra work as possible. Get us an Apple or other grant to work on this, then we can talk about it. And this is going to be a major break on badly needed restructuring of Sage the distro. > > - Marc > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sage-devel/2a5b3ca8-2ea6-42f2-8255-8f6ae9a72136n%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
