That is because guava (and other GAP packages and spkg's) are not under mercurial control. So to remove it, someone making up the gap spkg just takes it out. I did take it out when I created the 4.4.12 version of the spkg some time ago. (You know the story about sage and gap-4.4.12 ...) I guess the next person making up the gap-4.4.12 spkg will leave out guava then. > > On Jan 24, 10:27 pm, David Joyner <wdjoy...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 6:07 AM, Dima Pasechnik <dimp...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > while looking into updating gap to 4.4.12, I noticed that >> > guava used to be a separate spkg depending on gap. >> > Then it got merged with gap for no apparent to me reason. >> >http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3337 >> >> > Logically, guava is a gap package, among many others. >> > (currently, guava is the only one incorporated in Sage...) >> >> > Would it make more sense to keep them as separate spkgs? >> >> Yes.
