If you make a binary with "sage -bdist", and then try to do "sage -sdist" in the resulting tree, you get a perfectly good tarball, but it won't build Sage, since the tarball doesn't have a spkg/base directory. I just learned this the hard way, as my 4.5.2.alpha1 tree started out somehow as a bdist'ed tree, and now I need to fix it up so that I can sdist alpha1.
I would appreciate it if "sage -sdist" warned you if you did this, and perhaps gave instructions for fixing up your tree so that you could successfully run -sdist. Thoughts? Dan -- --- Dan Drake ----- http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~drake -------
