I don't think that was such a good idea, as the documentation and the
examples can be used to test the package. To quote from the {{{INSTALL}}}
file.
{{{
Test it:
--------
To test that the installation was successful, go to the examples
directory and try one of the examples, for example,
$ cd examples/doc/chap8
$ python lp
}}}
So if a spkg-check file was created, whilst leaving the documentation and
examples in place, it would be possible to check this.
Given there is only one .spkg which will be merged in 4.5.2, would it not
be better to work on this a bit more? I can see some obvious things that
could be improved.
* Put back the examples and documentation.
* Add an spkg-check file and test the examples - this will only happen if
SAGE_CHECK=yes
* Try removing all the Solaris specific patches. I just did a '''very'''
quick test on an !OpenSolaris machine, and found this built without those
patches.
* Change the directory structure to what is standard in Sage, and not as
it is now.
* Remove the patches from #9598, which IMHO have not been checked
carefully.
I'll leave it up to you guys how you resolve it. If you want me to make a
package based on that above, I'd be willing to do it.
