Comment (by was):
Fantastic! Here's a few very small remarks/typos (see below). Once
addressed, this should get a positive review.
- Could we change "6. OPTIONAL: Type "make ptest" to test all examples in
the documentation (over 93,000 lines of input!)" to "6. OPTIONAL: Type
"make ptest" to test all examples in the documentation (over 200,000 lines
of input!)", since:
{{{
/usr/local/sage/current/src/sage$ grep -r sage: * | grep -v \.c: | grep -v
\.cpp | wc -l
212574
}}}
- "First, install OpenSSL and the OpenSSL development headers on your
system if they are not already." --> "First, install OpenSSL and the
OpenSSL development headers on your system if they are not already
installed."
- "install.log Full intall log" -> "install.log Full install
log"
- I'm glad there is a "DIRECTORY LAYOUT" section. It's not quite perfect,
though. For example, my first question to sage-devel is "where is the
temporary build directory when installing packages? (used to be
spkg/build)". Looking at DIRECTORY LAYOUT one finds that SAGE_ROOT/tmp is
described as "Temporary files when building Sage", which suggests that
should be the answer to my question. However, it just isn't, since, e.g.,
R is built in "local/var/tmp/sage/build/r-3.0.2.p1". And there's no
symlink involved here either. This question isn't answered either:
"where are the databases? (used to be data/)".
