Dear developers, I am about to create an spkg which I hope may be optional one day. Its purpose is the computation of modular cohomology rings of finite p- groups (and may also include a database of the results for many groups, but first I want to be able to create it without the database).
The developer's guide at http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html says "The spkg-install script should copy your files to the appropriate place after doing any build that is necessary. That’s it!" But what is the "appropriate place"? I have some guesses, but my computer experience is not deep enough to be sure, so please excuse if the answer to my questions is too obvious: - It comprises some executables, e.g. of C-MeatAxe. -> $(SAGE_ROOT)/ local/bin/ ? - It depends on database_gap. I think I was already told that my package should *not* automatically install database_gap if it is missing; it should just tell the user to install it, right? - It comprises some Singular libraries. Where would Singular look for them? In $(SAGE_ROOT)/local/lib/ ? At least there seem to be some standard Singular libraries in that folder. - It comprises some Cython extensions, linking against a static C- MeatAxe library. * Where shall I put that library? $(SAGE_ROOT)/local/bin/ ? Or would I need that library only in the build process, and can disregard it afterwards? * I have no clear idea what I shall do after building the Cython modules (.so). Something like the following should eventually work: sage -i my_package_name.spkg and then sage: import pGroupCohomology sage: from pGroupCohomology import CohomologyRing sage: R=CohomologyRing( some p-group ) How can this be achieved? Where must I put pGroupCohomology.so into?
