Comment (by parisse):
Changing the tarball name would not impact too much (I would have to
remove old archives from time to time and taking care when saving the
tarball to an USB key), but changing the directory name stored inside the
tarball has more impact, I need to modify build scripts, move build
directories and update links, and sometimes rebuild all the source instead
of recompiling a few modified files.
Most users reporting bugs do not compile giac themselves, they are using
geogebra, the HP Prime calculator and report on respectives forums or Xcas
binaries and report on Xcas forum.
I don't understand what's the problem on sage side, why not take the
latest stable archive from my site when you are doing a compilation? Why
is it so important to have a different tarball number on my site each time
I make a fix? You can add any stamp you want on your side with the date or
sage release number or whatever. That's the way geogebra works, they are
just building with the latest SVN revision of giac, and they add their own
release number.
