My questions are mainly about : * package-version.txt, should it only be updated when the tarball changes? this is what http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/packaging.html#package-versioning suggests, not what the discussion between Jeroen and I at http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15123#comment:32 did. * history in SPKG.txt, http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/packaging.html#the-spkg-txt-file says no history anymore, so should we just get rid of the old history when updating? as remarked http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15123#comment:24 it is still available in the hg/git history (and I'd better have no info kept in SPKG.txt than just old info). * spkg-src, http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/packaging.html#modified-tarballs states its optional, I would say it shouldn't be, in fact I would even be in favor of having for every standard package even when it just downloads a tarball. * in the example files for spkg-install/check, there's not the stuff checking we're in a shell with Sage stuff defined, is that on purpose? * SAGE_FAT_BINARY, maybe it should be mentioned on this page as well. * --libdir, same same Best, JP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
