> OK, I will open a separate ticket, and set this one to positive review,
as soon as my request for a message saying that docs were installed (and
where to) in `spkg-install` is honoured.
I was actually first going to add that, but then did not for a couple of
reasons:
* I hate absolute paths there (as have unfortunately been added back to
(additional) messages in the "main" docbuilding, although the messages
there are even worse, since they claim the documents had been built even
upon errors), but was 100% sure at least some would complain about a
relative path in the message.
* Most other packages don't.
* Then I'd also added a message in case `SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS!=yes`,
telling that the [HTML] docs have not been installed (and why), and how
one can change that, which is pretty redundant, as that ''should be'' the
same for all spkgs.
Orthogonal to that:
Should I delete previous (potentially outdated) docs regardless of
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS`, which could probably be considered unexpected
behaviour? (E.g. if one reinstalls an spkg just with different flags, or
in order to run its test suite, but forgets to set
`SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS` to the previous setting? Does anyone use that
variable on a per-package basis? To me it seems a few people have it set
in their shell rcs, and most people don't use it, probably just because
they don't know about... B) )
