@debian experts: Does a PPA package have to follow debian rules, or can it be something like a binary deb from checkinstall which prepares the sage script with SAGE_ROOT and makes a system wide install owned by root for all users. And a sage-doc deb which adds local documentation? This seems the minmum effort and provides a completely up to date sage, not debianized, not depending on anthing else, i.e. still having it's own maxima, etc. built in. It would be a large package, but that is OK, the purpose is not debianization and depending on debian versions of maxima, etc. (but it could aid that project). It just provides an immediate working completely up to date sage from one PPA line in sources.list.d/sage.list. regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
