Hang on, now you're confusing me. (Apparently I still find it difficult to remember the difference between sage-pkg and sage-spkg). `sage-pkg` creates .spkg files. `sage-spkg` installs .spkg files. Am I wrong? I seem to be correct, at least looking at the contents of $SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-pkg and $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/bin/sage-spkg . Now if we're talking about command line arguments, it seems like both `sage -[-]spkg` and `sage -[-]pkg` are actually calling `$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-pkg`. That's kind of confusing. -Keshav ---- Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! -- 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
