What do you mean by this question? Is it rhetorical? If I based http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10281 on Sage-4.8 instead of a recent beta, it would be totally impossible to apply my patch (or merge my branch) into Jereon's current development branch, because parts of it had to be totally rewritten to take into account that somebody added "slice functionality" to vector_integer_dense after sage-4.8 was released, which significantly impacts how my code has to be implemented. -- William > > -- > 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 -- 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
