Replying to [comment:3 vbraun]:
> We probably want a `/etc/sage/env.d` directory instead of `/etc/env.d`
if this would be installed to the fs root...
i agree that `/etc/env.d` does not look very useful. but first of all,
packages (spkgs) are (supposedly) not required for system installation
involving `/etc`. secondly `sysconfdir` (=`$SAGE_ETC`) should default to
`$prefix/etc`, where `$prefix` should be something like `/usr/local` or
`/opt/sage` (clearly not `/`).
standalone sagelib-into-system installations (e.g. prefix=/usr) are meant
to be configured explicitly using --with-sysconfdir=/etc/sage (common
practice).
i am aware that sage does not define a prefix, which makes me assume that
installation is not implemented in a useful way (yet?) -- YMMV. more
workarounds may be required...
