I propose that before FPSAC we just make two releases of Sage in parallel:
(1) sage-4.1.tar
(2) sagecombinat-4.1.tar
Version (1) will have passed the full Sage referee process, testing
process, etc.
Version (2) will have not, but will include *all* of *-Combinat in it.
It would not be too much extra work for me to build binaries for
both. The source and binaries can be posted in a directory on
sage.math, so it's still easy for people to get.
Thoughts?
This would mean making something easily available for users that has
not just the
category code but everything else in *-combinat. To do this, could
somebody ASAP build sage-4.1.rc0.tar, pull and rebase all the
*-combinat stuff against it?
