local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex

--------------------------+------------------------------------------------
The TeX directory structure (TDS) reserves "generic" for macro files that
do "not rely on any particular format" (cf.
{{{http://tug.org/tds/tds.html#Macros}}}). This does certainly not apply
to sagetex, which is clearly a latex package. Therefore,
{{{local/share/texmf/tex/generic/sagetex}}} should be moved to
{{{local/share/texmf/tex/latex/sagetex}}} and the documentation should be
adapted to reflect this fact.
Apart from violating the TDS, this is also annoying: on my system, a
prepackaged version of sagetex.sty comes with the package texlive-latex-
extra (version 2009-10ubuntu1). While outdated, it is installed in a TDS
compliant location ({{{/usr/share/texmf-
texlive/tex/latex/sagetex/sagetex.sty}}}).
The standard search path for _latex_ is (removed non-pertinent items and
inserted line breaks as separators)
{{{
$kpsepath -n latex tex |tr ':' '\n'
.
/home/[...]/texmf/tex/latex//
!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex//
!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex//
/home/[...]/texmf/tex/generic//
!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic//
}}}
which means that the systems version of sagetex.sty is given
precedence over that in my homedirectory resulting from
{{{cp -R SAGE_ROOT/local/share/texmf/tex TEXMFHOME}}}
as recommended by
{{{http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/sagetex.html}}}
I'd like to push a git branch correcting the problem, but sagetex seems to
be developed outside the sage git respository?
