How about a "ntl-5.5.2-gf2x-0.96" optional SPKG which replaces the NTL SPKG when installed? That is, one gets an SPKG of NTL with GF2X included. All code in Sage dependent on NTL *should* rebuild after NTL was reinstalled when issuing "sage -b". I'm sure not everything does, but these are bugs we need to take care of anyway (i.e. adding the appropriate dependency in the module_list.py) Cheers, Martin PS: +1 for gettng GF2X in Sage! -- name: Martin Albrecht _pgp: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8EF0DC99 _otr: 47F43D1A 5D68C36F 468BAEBA 640E8856 D7951CCF _www: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~malb _jab: [email protected] -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
