My debian/sage experiments have uncovered two problems with sage's ecl
package:
(1) it is compiled with unicode disabled ; this is to avoid errors, like
those which can be read about in [https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-
gentoo/issues/2 this gentoo report]. But that doesn't look like a real
solution! Wouldn't it be possible to add a conversion step somewhere to
make sage work with an unicode-enabled unicode? or what about ecl's
--output-encoding argument?
(2) I'm annoyed by the fact that SIGCHLD was disabled by directly patching
the sources -- wouldn't it be possible to change this by modifying an rc
file or some such, whose path would be given to ecl at startup?
