[sage-support] version()/clone question

2008-04-27 Thread David Joyner

Hi:
While in a sage session, I often times want to know if I'm in the
main branch or some clone. Is there a command line way to fine out
this information?
I wonder if it to would be useful to anyone other than me. I'm guessing
it not too much trouble, for example, to modify version() to return a
pair - the version
and the name of the clone branch one is in. I'd be happy to prepare
a patch if I could get a hint on how to get started.

Here's a scary-looking 1-liner that will return the current branch:

os.popen("ls -l %s/devel/sage"%SAGE_ROOT).read().split()[-1][5:]

It's not really, this is the icetea java plugin, version 7. just
uninstall this browser plugin and then install the sun java6 plugin
instead (check by typing "about:plugins" in url bar)

Arrg, iced tea is *still* broken with jmol? Maybe somebody ought to
poke the jmol people if there isn't a fix or workaround since it
starts to get annoying ;)

Can you add this to the FAQ?
