In this case you could gather together all the issues you find in the documentation for that file as a new trac ticket, then post that. Don't worry about posting lots -- especially to sage-devel -- since it's considered a high-volume list. We like to keep as much of the discussion about sage in the open as possible. Also, it is easy for people to switch to viewing sage-* in digest mode (one email per day) or only on the web. In this particular case, perhaps you want to learn how to create a mercurial patch that fixes the above problem. Here's how: (1) Edit SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/calculus/calculus.py and fix the line that has "funcitons" in it (it's line 895, I think). (2) Start sage and build the changes: $ sage -br ... sage: (3) Check in your changes: sage: hg_sage.commit() [puts you in more, type 'q'], [puts you in editor -- make the first line a commit message] (4) See what you did: sage: hg_sage.log() displays change log (5) Export it as a file sage: hg_sage.export('tip') creates a file named nnnn.patch, if the number of the tip (last patch) is nnnn. (6) Make nnnn.patch available to others, either by posting it to trac or emailing it. See http://sagemath.org/doc/html/prog/node71.html for more about the revision control system we use. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
