Hello all, There were some important changes to the Sage build system in 6.8.beta7:
* All logs of running "make" will appear in install.log, including the logs of the documentation and the Sage library build. Nothing changed for the individual log files.
* The documentation can now be built in parallel with packages: if you run "make", then all packages will be built and the documentation will be built. Packages which are not required for the documentation might be built at the same time as the documentation. Note that the documentation has a lot of dependencies, so in practice, the documentation will usually be the last thing to finish building anyway.
* New-style packages can now be installed with dependency checking by running "make pkgname". This applies to all types (standard, optional, experimental). I remind that new-style packages should define dependencies in a build/pkgs/pkgname/dependencies file, this information will be used by "make pkgname". I think this should become the recommended way to install packages, while "./sage -i" (which does NOT use dependencies) is a more low-level interface, analogous to "./sage -b"
