> I like this! Comments:
> * Small note; we don't necessarily need Xcode, but just the command
line tools, which is FREE but which still does require a (free) Apple
Developer account.
Ok, I'll try to add this though I never actually use a Mac.
> * Also, we do supply `sage -i openssl` for exactly the reason that we
want Sage to be self-contained, so your removal of this command is not
helpful, even though I understand where you are going. On Mac, for
instance, `sage -i openssl` will probably be easier for a lot of people.
At least in line 259 ff. I think that it is misleading to have a link to a
huge set of instructions and then add these things, which then look very
important.
It's still in the installing the notebook with ssl support part.
And in the prereq part i mention that Sage ships all the needed stuff
(alhtough you need an internet connection, what the "to download
separatly" should suggest, any better phrasing welcome, I'm no native
english speaker so excuse my french).
Of course I could mention that you can run ./sage -i openssl in the prereq
part, but the whole point of this section is to suggest to install system
wide openssl (which on Linux/Solaris/Cygwin/FreeBSD should be quite
default, at least for ssh users)
> * This apparently depends on #14031.
Correct!
> * It would be really helpful to include a link or even just mention
`MAKE="make -jNUM"` at the initial mention of `make`.
Ok, I'll add that, makes sense with the usual current hardware.
> I would prefer that at least a couple people review this, just to make
sure that something didn't go missing during the conversion. But overall
a nice improvement and it applies, builds doc, looks good and complete,
etc.
