Then Michael Abshoff decided "Hey, I'll port Sage to 64-bit OS X!". He then introduced a SAGE64 flag and used it specifically for the 64-bit OS X port. He then systematically went through *every* package and made sure that *on OS X* it fully supported the SAGE64 flag. And, indeed, it every package does. The roadmap would be that sometime one would come back to doing a 64-bit Solaris port. At that point, one would push the SAGE64-bit flag further to work for that bi-arch environment. So, tag, you're "it". -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
