Comment (by stumpc5):
Dear Christian,
I cannot post directly on sage-trac so I reply to you.
Further questions to be asked to Jean Michel:
> 1. Could he state more clearly on his website that his version is
not
> just a repackaged GAP3, it's really a fork of GAP3 with additional
fixes
> which are not in GAP3 proper.
OK, I will try to be clear on my webpages. The fact is I do not
distribute
a complete GAP3 distribution (all packages, all libraries) to save
space.
Perhaps I should distribute a complete distribution and this would
obsolete
the St Andrews distribution -- it would go from 15MB to 70MB.
> 2. Can he provide a clean source-only repackaged GAP3?
I could try if I understand exactly what this means. But this
should
certainly not be the default distribution since my distribution
contains
Mac and Windows executables (and executables for some packages which
have
executables separate from the gap3 executable). We thus have to agree to
a
name for this for-Sage distribution which I will keep separate from
the
default distribution.
> 3. If no to the previous question: is he willing to host such a
source-

Yes.
