Ok, it is a little longer than I would have thought it would be. Maybe
we you can stick something in the Sage 3.4 release tour wiki page and
we mention the link from the release notes?
This also is rather bad:
3)Edit the deps file:
nano -w spkg/standard/deps
and remove (or comment) the two following lines:
$(INST)/$(CLISP): $(BASE) $(INST)/$(GMP) $(INST)/$(TERMCAP) $(INST)/$
(READLINE)
$(SAGE_SPKG) $(CLISP) 2>&1
Next we need to change:
$(INST)/$(MAXIMA): $(BASE) $(INST)/$(CLISP)
to
$(INST)/$(MAXIMA): $(BASE)
Save the file.
I.e. not all Gentoo releases fail when building clisp, i.e. at least
one person hanging out in IRC has reported to me that Sage 3.3 just
build for him on a 64 bit Gentoo box. And modifying deps is something
that is next to impossible to detect by remote debugging and touching
the right clisp entry in spkg/installed makes the issue go away. Since
we will not do a thing to clisp until the ecl switch it seems like
this should not be necessary and deps ought to be updated on -upgrade
anyway.
Another thing:
2)As the user you use to install sage go into the sage-3.4
folder. We need to create a link for clisp:
ln -s /usr/bin/clisp local/bin/clisp.bin
Be careful it is really "clisp.bin".
This is also not the way I would do things. Just give people the clisp
wrapper script modified to call clisp from the default location in
Gentoo with an absolute path (if something like that exists, but it
seems to /usr/bin/clisp). I also suspect that -bdist will break this
way you do it if the new system does not have clisp installed, but
since this is a work around fix with finite life expectancy I think we
don't have to be too nit picky about this :)
Cheers,
Michael
