Comment:
Hi Michael,
I couldn't trigger the Maxima failure (don't know why), but I could see
that the Sage app bundle's "/local/lib/sage-current-location.txt" wasn't
updated as it should. The new script I attached does fix this and should
handle environmental settings cleaner on a broader scale. I didn't know
where you want me to put it (certainly not inside some "tar.gz"), so I
uploaded it plain as-is.
You said in sage-devel (Google thread) that you had a fix for dir names
with spaces -- I don't see where, but anyway that fix of yours should
apply as before.
One important thing I noted: The README.txt in the .dmg dates from Sage
2.9.2 and should definiteley either be updated, or killed. Probably you
have to adjust sage-sdist and sage-bdist a bit to stop remnants of this
(e.g. "$SAGE_ROOT/sage-README-osx.txt") from lurking around.
One other thing:
+1 to your idea to name the app bundle "Sage.x.y.z" instead of "Sage".
What do you think of putting in the name also the dependency "Intel vs.
PPC" resp. "32Bit vs. 64Bit"? (It's not a "universal binary" we deliver,
do we?)
Cheers, gsw
