Why don't you just install a binary release of 6.3 for your platform? It does not destroy your notebooks, as far as I know. If you want to make a backup of your notebooks, just copy somewhere the whole .sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/ directory from the home directory of the account you use to run Sage. As a matter of fact, this would be quite hard to implement an incremental binary update. As well, sage --update was never meant to be a user-friendly thing in the first place. The quickerst incremental updates would be using git and recompilation. > > Regards, > Chris > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
