This shouldn't be hard; it only is because right now the blessed sage distribution is monolithic. If there was a mercurial repo with just the sage code (and not all of the associated libraries), development would work like any other project: cd ~/sage-hg hg pull <make changes> ./sage It would take a lot of work to get to that point, of course, but "ease of development" is by no means a quality limited to the monolithic approach. -- 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
