So, it seems to me that the following layout makes sense: 1. One spkg providing the code for the computation of modular cohomology rings of finite p-groups; it also has a 'tiny' database, that knows typical ring theoretic invariants, and that is able to find the data (i) on the disk, (ii) in the web, and (iii) knows to create new data from scratch, if needed. 2. Data stored, e.g., at http://sagemath.org/sagedb/ so that the user can download each ring s/he wants to have. 3. Another spkg that just installs the full 20 GB of data, so that the user has the complete data and does not need to download (provided the first spkg has been installed as well). And thank you all for the various hints on creation of relational data bases! I will see if I am able to understand those things :) Cheers, Simon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
