Replying to [comment:24 vinceknight]:
> Completely agree that it would be idea for this to just be 'a normal'
upstream binary of gambit but the reason it's this personalised version is
after conversation with the main gambit dev. There needed to be a slight
tweak to how the Python api worked, with a view to including this change
to future versions of gambit.
The standard approach is to create a patch (or if there are more logical
grouping, multiple patches) which apply to a clean version of gambit. As
these changes get released into gambit, we remove (a part of) the patch.
> I'm beginning to wonder if since the main purpose of this is for #16333,
but that most of #16333 works without gambit, it would be possible to
modify/open new tickets so that #16333 can be review 'sans gambit' and a
new ticket is opened to take care of getting gambit as an optional package
in Sage and to check that the one implementation of the algorithm also
works.
I'm also for separating things out here considering the spkg doesn't seem
like it will be ready soon.
