Comment:
In addition to providing a patch as you have done, it's normal Sage
practice to put on the trac tickets a link to complete .spkg file. That
allows a reviewer to quickly test the revised .spkg file without making
it. It also allows the reviewer to check that the repository in the
package is correct (i.e. 'hg status' shows no output). However, do not
attach the .spkg file - only provide a link.
According to the GNU autoconf manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#External-
Software
"--without-package is equivalent to --with-package=no"
I don't know anything about the SAGE_FAT_BINARY, but when I asked William
if it was important, he said very so.
I don't know whether just disabling this library is best or not. Your
patch could disable it for some people that might make use of it. With
Solaris, it was clear R would never build without this library, but either
the library is supplied with almost all Linux distributions, or R builds
without it on some systems.
I'll raise this on sage-devel.
