Comment:
I checked on a Mac running 10.9 with a recent version of TeXShop (3.2ish,
3.3ish, I think) and can't reproduce the problem. In fact, I can't imagine
this really is a problem with TeXShop; TeX has its own path-searching
mechanism and it would be really bizarre if TeXShop somehow altered that.
If `sagetex.sty` is findable by TeX (via something like `kpsewhich
sagetex.sty` in a terminal) then I would be very surprised if there's a
problem when typesetting from TeXShop. I would need more information (and
a Mac, since I don't have one these days) to figure out those problems.
Also, I see that
[[http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/changes_3.html|TeXShop's changelog
for 3.22]] has exactly the correct solution to making the `.sty` file
findable, even on upgrades;
[[http://faculty.essex.edu/~bannon/sp/sagetextexshop.pdf|Ron Bannon's
notes]] also have good advice. So I don't see anything to do as far as
making the `.sty` file available; our own instructions, and those from the
TeXShop folks, are all correct as far as I can see.
As for moving the `.engine` file: this isn't something we have control
over. TeXShop ships with Sage's engine in the Inactive folder and you have
to move the file. Once you've moved it, it should stay there; if it gets
overwritten, then that's a TeXShop problem.
As for what you do when you upgrade Sage: it's the same as when you
install it, unless you symlink `sagetex.sty`, in which case you do
nothing. SageTeX has version mismatch detection, so if someone upgrades
Sage (with a new version of SageTeX), they should see an error and be able
to fix it by moving the `.sty` file appropriately.
I'm seeing a bunch of vague issues which are either not actually problems
that we can solve, or for which we don't actionable information. I'm
marking this as "needs info", but I recommend we close it. The only thing
I see here that we can do is add something to the
[[http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/tutorial/sagetex.html#sec-sagetex-
install|installation guide]] about upgrading...but it already says you
should recopy the directory. Do you want to mention symlinks?
