Hi, I wanted to try out #3052, which is Kini's code for converting .hg repos to JSON and back. So I took a Sage-4.8 binary, and started looking for his code. I just wanted to run the script on a sample .hg repo, etc. The first thing I discovered is that the entire spkg/base repository, which surprisingly contains his code, is *missing* from Sage binaries? Why?
The binaries are meant to be as ready for use and fully functional as build-from-source, with the one exception that the spkg's are all blanked out. Thus it seems to me bad to not include spkg/base in the binaries, given that it supports important functionality. If one wants a stripped down binary, that's what the "make micro_release" target is for. I can see that not containing spkg/base. -- William -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- 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
