The whole idea of having to update SPKG.txt and the hg log entry every time we do anything is redundant, and personally I've never seen the point of it. If you want to know for certain precisely what was really done, just use hg. The hg log will also explain what was done, and if that isn't enough, use "hg export" to look at changes. “In any bureaucracy, paper work increases as you spend more and more time reporting on the less and less you are doing.” -- anonymous -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
