I tried a "sage -upgrade" on a pristine 4.7.rc4 install to get to 4.7 and I got hg "unresolved" and "uncommitted changes" problems left and right. Since "sage -upgrade" duly warns that it offers no guarantees, that's not really a bug, but given that I didn't do anything with that 4.7.rc4 other than build it and run "make ptestlong", I'm wondering if the upgrade procedure can ever succeed with the new(?) hg repositories in place.
The two packages that caused problems were sage-ext and sage-root (I gave up after sage-root) It is a bit of a disincentive to try out release candidates if one has to do a full rebuild of the final release anyway (I have tried binary distributions before and found them unreliable). Perhaps release management is getting enough feedback already, in which case this is not an issue, but if they are not, this could be one of the contributing factors. -- 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
