Hi, Adding a new repository in SAGE_ROOT, and not getting rid of any existing repositories is absolutely trivial to implement.
Proposals about getting rid of existing repositories or merging them are good to think about, but are potentially very, very difficult to implement. Moreover, even if we *are* going to do that, it could (and should) be done later after we have a SAGE_ROOT repository. -- William On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 8:19 PM, Florent Hivert <florent.hiv...@univ-rouen.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, Jul 08, 2010 at 06:28:32PM +0200, Robert Miller wrote: >> > I sometimes wonder if it would be better if there was only one >> > repository for things except .spkg files.
