Hi all,
Is there a make target for building/installing all *optional* packages
as well as the standard ones?
First of all: not every optional package should be installed. There are
packages like gmp and python3 which should not mindlessly be installed.
There might be others too, like gdb on OS X doesn't work.
This is indeed very bad. It would be nice to be able to
install/uninstall/test packages at random without breaking the Sage
install. In particular, that would allow patchbot to test the (to be
defined) subsets of officially supported packages. And avoid (or at
least make visible) backward compatibility issues.
For example, this is what R has with their CRAN database of 8968
packages [1]! Each package is tested against various version of R and
status report are available. It is also similar to PyPI (which does not
implement automatic testing for good reasons). And certainly many more
projects.
Cheers,
Vincent
PS: what about some Sage dev-days about "modular Sage"?
