Marc, Your response seems to suggest that Dima is claiming that your distribution of Sage is wrong or shouldn't exist. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Really? What does the following mean to you? "I don't want to go into merits of the macOS app, but it's a highly non-standard by modern Python standards thing which does not bring to users full functionality of Sage, and ties them up to a shifty expensive platform." (Dima, Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 6:44:31 PM UTC-5) Yes it is hard to avoid the implication in *some* (not all) messages that true "end users" are not real users - and that most of the world runs on some "distro". That this implication is not wholly the case is refuted by the thread on using meson having been motivated by the ability to build Sage (finally) natively on Windows - which I can only assume means that, if that project is fully successful, would mean the ability to eventually have Windows exe files for download, which would be stupendous. Still, it would be helpful for rhetoric around "only one user" be replaced by "all Mac users, many of whom do not have the time, expertise, or patience, or whatever, to build Sage from scratch using something like homebrew". For better or for worse, Marc and his team have stepped into the gap to provide this incredibly valuable service. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
