There are "base" packages, stored in spkg/base and "standard" packages, stored in spkg/standard. $(BASE) corresponds to the base packages. Base packages are the absolute minimum required to run sage-spkg. Base packages don't use sage-spkg, they use custom install scripts. I think it would be good to reduce the number of packages in spkg/base, possibly to zero. It should be possible (but non-trivial concerning upgrades) to make bzip2 a standard package. -- 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
