Comment (by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:10 tscrim]:
> To make sure I understand correctly, does this mean that anytime we want
to do a version bump of packages (or add one), we have to manually run
`$SAGE_ROOT/configure`?
Yes.
> If so, then I think we should put something about this in the spkg
development guide.
OK, I see your point. I'd rather make that a separate ticket, there might
be other changes to the spkg development guide I want to make.
> Also, is `configure` updated on beta version changes or just on stable
releases?
All releases, beta and stable. So in practice, you only really need to run
`./configure` manually if you yourself are working on a package (as author
or reviewer). If the package upgrade happens as part of a Sage version
bump, no special action is needed.
> Also is there a reason why you moved the "if root" test lower in the
file?
There is no real particular reason, it felt more logical to put it where
it currently is.
> I would think we'd want such build failures to happen as early on as
possible.
Why?
