> As a final change, could we clarify the ATLAS/CBLAS issue in
{{{SPKG.txt}}}, i.e.
> * Dependencies: '''None''' - GSL does currently '''not''' depend on any
other Sage package (though ATLAS is currently listed in
{{{spkg/standard/deps}}}
> * Add a ''"Special Update/Build Instructions"'' section that mentions
that GSL could '''in principle''' use ATLAS's CBLAS implementation rather
than the one shipped with GSL (but so far never did in Sage).

Sure. I made a few other changes to that file too - hopefully to your
approval. No code was changed.
> Currently building Sage 4.5.1 with GSL 1.14 from scratch...
Good.
> (I've already tested the spkg with 4.5 "final" on two machines, but only
by forcing installation of the new package. This btw discovered even more
flaws in the doctesting "frame"work regarding parallel testing and
timeouts on the slower machine...)
You do not surprise me with regard to the doctesting framework. However,
before wasting any time on them, do check to see if there are any patches
recently added to trac for this, as I know there were several such
patches. I'm not the release manager, but if I were, I'd get those patches
in on the alpha0. If you can't rely on the test code, what can you rely
on?
