> A few comments: overall, the documentation patch is good, but
unfortunately it needs to be rebased. Since you have to do that, I wonder
if, in the reference manual, the file sagetex.rst needs to be in the new
directory "other", or whether it should just be in the top ref manual
directory. Not a big deal.
I'll put it in the "other" directory. I just guessed when I put
sagetex.rst where it is.
> Also, is it worth mentioning in the documentation that if you have
several copies of sagetex.sty lying around, you need to make sure that the
most recent one gets read first? I just ran into this problem because I
had installed an old version a while ago which was shadowing the more
recent one. Again, not a big deal, and if you think this should be done
but don't want to bother now, it can be delayed to another ticket.
I'll add a bit about this. It's one of the biggest problems with SageTeX.
> For a future version of sagetex, should sagetex print its version each
time you latex the file, so that users can see what version is actually
being used?
I've thought about some kind of mechanism that would check for version
mismatch, but don't have any easily-implementable ideas at the moment. I
think this would be best in another ticket.
> The spkg looks good, and seems to indicate in the right places that it's
now a standard spkg. Does anything else need to be checked?
I don't think so. If you can install the spkg, follow the TeX installation
directions, and successfully use it on a document, I think it's good to
go.
I have 4.3.1 compiled, so I'll rebase and adjust the documentation, and
open a ticket for the version mismatch stuff.
