2013-12-16 Thread Darij Grinberg
Hi, this is probably not an actual issue, but it seems that "make build" trips over some .BACKUP files from a merge (with meld): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83265276/merge-woes.txt Unfortunately I don't fully remember what I have done that caused these files. I don't think I ever merged

I still don't have permissions to copy new upstream tarballs, so you have to manually download the tarball and put it into /upstream. I asked for a more sane system on sage.math.users a while ago but nobody with administrative access did anything. https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git

Hell everybody ! This is almost done ! Almost done, because we can't do anything like that without deprecating stuff for a while (especially when I have no idea how many people use that), so I created ticket #15521. This adds deprecation warnings to have everybody explicitly say that
