Yep, I usually try that as well. > Then the patch files will be small. Unfortunately that's not always true; even little changes to e.g. configure.ac can create huge diffs to the original configure script. And in some cases, e.g. for GLPK 4.44 [1], newer autotools are needed to fix the problem (perhaps without actually changing any autoconf or automake source files). -leif [1] http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12703 -- -- 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
