Hi Sage-Devel,
What do you think of (optionally) adding a doc/ subdirectory to each spkg?
When the spkg, say foo-1.2.3.spkg is installed, the directory
SAGE_ROOT/doc/packages/foo
would be a copy of that doc/ subdirectory.
That's it.
The idea is that this would be very helpful for people on airplanes,
etc., without
internet access, who really want to browse say the GMP docs or the Python
docs, but can't because they don't have internet access or the
tools to build the docs from source. Typically doc/ would contain html only
or maybe html and pdf versions of *built* docs, hence adding no dependency
for building Sage.
This would also provide an iterative way of getting rid of the
out of date extra_docs spkg from early 2007, which nobody
wants to update.
Thoughts?
To make this happen: (1) people have to think it is a good idea, and (2) a few
lines of code need to be added to local/bin/sage-spkg
