Hi, Something I noticed with sage-on-gentoo but would also affect anyone installing sage as root to make it available on the system. In http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12644 the installation of ellcurves has been altered and I am not sure how to fix it.
In elliptic_curves-0.3 we have the following permissions inside $SAGE_DATA/ellcurves: -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 1003K Mar 28 13:17 rank0 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 1023K Mar 28 13:17 rank1 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 71K Mar 28 13:17 rank2 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 26K Mar 28 13:17 rank3 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 31 Mar 28 13:17 rank4 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 32 Mar 28 13:17 rank5 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 38 Mar 28 13:17 rank6 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 42 Mar 28 13:17 rank7 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 45 Mar 28 13:17 rank8 In 0.5 and likely 0.4 where the relevant changes have been made (I think): -rw------- 1 fbissey fbissey 1003K Mar 28 13:16 rank0 -rw------- 1 fbissey fbissey 1023K Mar 28 13:16 rank1 -rw------- 1 fbissey fbissey 71K Mar 28 13:16 rank2 -rw------- 1 fbissey fbissey 26K Mar 28 13:16 rank3 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 31 Sep 11 2011 rank4 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 32 Sep 11 2011 rank5 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 38 Sep 11 2011 rank6 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 42 Sep 11 2011 rank7 -rw-r--r-- 1 fbissey fbissey 45 Sep 11 2011 rank8 In the later case you will have obvious problem if the user using the data is not the same than the one installing it. I noticed it when dosctest started to fail with 5.0.beta10 because rank3 could not be opened by a normal user in sage-on-gentoo.
