Hi, our work with sage-on-gentoo has seen great progress - we are now able to supply fully working and recent versions of Sage which live in / usr. We did this (among other things) by setting
SAGE_LOCAL=/usr SAGE_ROOT=/usr/share/sage This enables Sage to put all scripts and binaries into /usr/bin and other stuff like data, examples, devel files and so on into the usual share directory. The "problem" is that in Sage's sources and scripts "$SAGE_ROOT/local" is often used instead of "$SAGE_LOCAL" which breaks Sage when these variables are set as written above, of course. Now my question: should this be considered as a bug (I am can supply patches) ? I know this affects only sage-on-gentoo, but IMO it should be fixed - otherwise SAGE_LOCAL variable would be rather useless.
