What do other people who manage > systems with several users do or plan to do? make somewhere a symbolic link to the current system-wide Sage installation, e.g. /usr/local/sage/current a symlink to /usr/local/sage/sage-6.0/
As well, make /usr/local/bin/sage a symlink to /usr/local/sage/current/sage Done! Now you can happily build in /usr/local/sage/sage-6.1 and at some point switch your /usr/local/sage/current to point to /usr/local/sage/sage-6.1/ HTH, Dima > > John > > On 30 January 2014 21:29, Harald Schilly <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 10:08 PM, Volker Braun <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Source tarball is here (to be uploaded to the mirrors): >> >> Cool!
