#13452: Refactor sage-location Some various clean-up of sage-location, in particular: 1. Don't use realpath() or abspath() everywhere. Just once should be more than sufficient. 2. Merge initialize_pkgconfig_files() and update_pkgconfig_files(). 3. Improve the logic, i.e. install_moved() should not write the processor flags. 4. Improve structure by creating a new top-level function sage_relocate() which then calls the other functions. 5. Better documentation.
#13407: Move sage-make_relative to sage-location There is a rare race condition associated to sage-make_relative: when a file is open for writing, it cannot be executed (you get a "Text file busy" error). Since the sage-make_relative Python script opens all files in $SAGE_LOCAL/bin for writing, it can happen that a Sage build fails. The best solution is to move sage-make_relative to sage-location: the latter script is intented precisely to fix relocation issues. It would also be faster, as currently every file in $SAGE_LOCAL/bin is checked after every package is installed. Both these tickets are prerequisites for #5155 (Fix doctests that want write access to $SAGE_ROOT). I think it would be good to finally fix this issue, such that Sage works 100% (not 99%) for other users (not the one who installed Sage). I would like a push to get this into sage-5.4.
