It would be nice if one could specify a subset of spkgs to use the system-provided library instead of building it ourselves. For example, have an environment variable, say,
SAGE_NATIVE_LIBRARY="patch atlas cddlib gsl" make that lists spkgs for which the distribution package should be used (similar to SAGE_ATLAS_LIB). The spkg-install will then check if it is one in $SAGE_NATIVE_LIBRARY. If yes, it just sets up symlinks to the relevant binaries within $SAGE_LOCAL. As upstream dependencies mature one could then gradually transition away from compiling the package except on old OS'es. -- 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
