Well, give the complexity of the patch why did you not do a formal
review then? :)
The following is likely to happen:
(a) You are somewhere under $SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage - where sage is a
symlink to whatever branch you are using
(b) There is a link somewhere in the path up to $SAGE_ROOT somewhere.
readlink does not seems to follow symbolic links per default, at least
not on Linux. So if you doctest via -t from outside the devel/sage
directory everything works, but inside the followup doesn't work.
Note that the -f option is different between Linux and BSD-ish systems
as pointed out before:
Linux:
-f, --canonicalize
canonicalize by following every symlink in every
component of the given name recursively; all but the last component
must
exist
On OSX:
Sprocketer:~ michaelabshoff$ readlink -fn .
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
due to
-f format
Display information using the specified format. See the
FORMATS section for a description of valid formats.
Since it does just fail on OSX the second version of readlink kicks
in, so the patch should be good to go.
Gonzalo: Can you please post a proper patch for bugfixes you suggest -
I am happt to convert your diff into a proper patch attributed to you,
but if you did it would just be easier :)
