Yes, but I need this for all packages, so I think I'll rather customize my own derived sage to do this automatically. For Michael: we'll it's not sage. :) >> Well, not now, because I haven't yet updated the g95 problem that >> Michael just helped me fix and google code is read only now for >> maintenance. :( I think I depend too much on google, when I needed to >> send an important email, gmail went down for couple hours and I was >> literally stuck and had to use some other webmail. > > You should use Sage in such cases.

I think my sage is a little bit old for emails:) $ sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | SAGE Version 3.1.2, Release Date: 2008-09-19 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: email?

Sage > could be the same. That would be cool. Ok. I did some progress yesterday: http://code.google.com/p/qsnake/wiki/qsnake_all Basically you download 3.2MB tarball and then install everything else using "sage -i". That's what I want! There is not even python in my qsnake_all. If you type ./sage, it will enter an infinite loop, see my wiki above for instructions how to fix it. However, there is a big problem with dependencies, as you need to install the packages in correct order. So I will create some meta packages that will do that for me, e.g. scipy-all-0.1, that would install all packages needed for scipy in correct order. Or sage-all-0.1, that would install Sage+packages. Or mayavi2-all for mayavi. Secretly I hope that it will spark interest of other people, so that we can maintain this stripped sage (michael: not sage) together, as I think it can do the job for all the people who wanted something like python(x,y) for linux. Well, here you have it. When Sage is ported to windows, I'll try to do the same, even though, I don't have any windows here, so maybe someone else will do it for me. :) Ondrej --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
