Comment (by dimpase):
Replying to [comment:9 vbraun]:
> The docs should link to upstream (http://cvxopt.org) and not to a local
file that isn't even installed unless you build with
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS=yes`. Also, the link in
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/numerical_sage/cvxopt.html is broken.
we can have `SAGE_LOCAL/share/doc/cvxopt/index.html` redirecting to
`cvxopt.org` by default, and overwrite it with the local docs if
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS=yes` during the cvxopt installation.
But there is much more stuff there than just cvxopt docs. E.g. I have
currently, on Sage 5.9,
{{{
NTL ipython ppl
cvxopt mpfr pwl
eclib networkx-1.7.dev_20130506064154 sagetex
}}}
and again these docs are largely lost to a typical user. I wonder why are
they (except cvxopt, that was explicitly installed with
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS` on)
there in the first place. It looks like the other packages ignore the
value of `SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS`, no?
