Comment(by SimonKing):
Hi John!
I don't know how it works what you suggested. First of all, $INSTALLED has
no value in the sage shell:
{{{
sage subshell$ echo $INSTALLED
}}}
Could it be that it is only defined inside {{{SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-
spkg}}}?
And one problem with this method is that (if I understand correctly) one
has to provide the exact version of the package whose existence is being
tested.
But I don't want a method to test for the presence of database_gap-4.4.12
(so that it wouldn't work if database_gap-4.4.10 is installed). I want to
test if ''any'' version of database_gap is there.
And I think that this is exactly the purpose of the script
{{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/newest_version}}}.
Cheers,
Simon
