Comment (by felixs):
Replying to [comment:2 vbraun]:
> Python distutils at least encapsulates the file operations in
`distutils.file_utils`, so it would be a finite task to hook into that as
well.
For example. but i have no idea how to "hook into that" yet without
patching distutils. is there any python magic you have in mind?
> The alternative is to serialize the install phase and diff the
`SAGE_ROOT` tree before and after.
Won't give me DESTDIR. serialization is one of the uglier hacks (no way).
diff takes quadratic time (even less way).
> Yet another possibility is to use separate install trees for each spkg
in "sage-the-distribution", as in Nix or Stow.
Just complicates the issue. better is supporting no "install" at all (like
sage-doc currently does).
