I agree with and support strongly this proposal of removal of sagenb doc, which is a step towards having "make" (and not only "make build") being working with python3.
The alternative would require a *lot of work* on sagenb itself : * merge the deprecation pull request there * release a new sagenb * make a ticket for upgrading the sagenb in sage * and then the doc may still be broken as sagenb is not 100% python3-compatible (some issues with email remains) Frédéric Le mercredi 10 octobre 2018 07:27:59 UTC+2, John H Palmieri a écrit : > > At https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/25382, it is being proposed to remove > the documentation for the legacy Sage notebook, a.k.a. sagenb, from the > reference manual.
