Old description:
> As explained in https://github.com/robertwb/sage-patchbot/issues/35 and
> http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16377#comment:11, patchbot when started
> with `sage -patchbot` will clobber your Sage installation. This ticket
> will remove that option, as the underlying problem cannot be solved once
> and for all, i.e., it is possible to take care of known environment
> variables that affect unsafe patchbot runs, but any new variable will
> break such a solution.
>
> Moreover, the `README` of `robertwb/patchbot` states to start via `python
> patchbot.py` maybe for a reason.
New description:
As explained in https://github.com/robertwb/sage-patchbot/issues/35 and
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16377#comment:11, patchbot when started
with `sage -patchbot` will clobber your Sage installation because the
environment is changed before patchbot is started.
vbraun: "The handling of the -patchbot switch in src/bin/sage needs to be
moved above the "Source sage-env" step, so it is done before the
environment is changed."
