Around line 296 in SAGE_ROOT/spkg/bin/sage, there seems to be a

mkdir -p "$DOT_SAGE"

Why are we checking to see if IPYTHON_DIR is defined in order to see if
we should create DOT_SAGE??
I thought that the check was
IPYTHONDIR="$DOT_SAGE/ipython" && export IPYTHONDIR
if [ ! -d "$IPYTHONDIR" ]; then
mkdir -p "$DOT_SAGE"
cp -r "$SAGE_ROOT/ipython" "$DOT_SAGE/"

Yes, that makes a lot more sense. In looking into it more deeply, I
realize the code I posted above is from the first patch at the ticket
migrating us to IPython 0.12:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/12719/trac_12719_ROOT_configuration_files.patch
So I guess the question is really for Volker (who submitted that patch).
Why do you just create $DOT_SAGE? I notice that the patch mentioned
above deletes a lot of the $SAGE_ROOT/ipython files, so maybe the whole
if check isn't necessary at all?
("-d" means "is a directory", not "is defined", by the way.)
Ah. Thanks.
