That would work fine, or even a pointer to a repository that then can clone/contribute to. > Does this sound a good strategy? Or would it be best to distribute an > .spkg ?

IIRC, the default is to run setup.py if there's a setup.py in the sources (though note that all the code lives under a scr directory, and one needs a couple of metadata files. They're just bzipped tarballs, so the easiest way is to understand them unpack some and take a look. That being said, I would suggest contribute to the main library unless there's a strong reason not to. > Also, is there any documentation on sage -pkg? > > Emil > > -- > To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support > URL: http://www.sagemath.org -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
