I am confused by Jeroen's comment. According to the sage 6.4 developers guide <http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/walk_through.html#rebuilding-sage>: Rebuilding Sage Once you have made any changes you of course want to build Sage and try out your edits. As long as you only modified the Sage library (that is, Python and Cython files under src/sage/...) you just have to run: [user@localhost sage]$ ./sage -br to rebuild the Sage library and then start Sage. This should be quite fast. If you made changes to third-party packages then you have to run: [user@localhost sage]$ make as if you were installing Sage from scratch <http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html>. However, simply running make will only recompile packages that were changed, so it shoud be much faster than compiling Sage the first time. Rarely there are conflicts with other packages, or with the already-installed older version of the package that you changed, in that case you do have to recompile everything using: [user@localhost sage]$ make distclean && make Also, don’t forget to run the tests (see Doctesting the Sage Library) and build the documentation (see The Sage Manuals). That is, the manual states that the recommended route is to use sage -br unless you are modifying packages. Does the manual need to be updated or do Jeroen's comments only apply when playing with external packages/code? Btw, as William mentioned in another post, sage's requirement to use sage -br, or make, when python files are changed shouldn't be necessary (cf. for example, this is done automatically when using setup tools). Are their plans to fix this? Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
