> That no one really noticed means that no one using a global sage install
has been using sympow for their work. The only people using it must have
used a private installation. We now have a fix for this problem in sage-
on-gentoo, Christopher, the other sage-on-gentoo dev, has figured a way of
getting sympow to write in $HOME/.sympow in the last month or so.
I prepared a small patch which should fix the directory/permission
problems. I did not fully test it because I got little time but you should
be able see its basic idea - it includes the sed fixes from our sage-on-
gentoo overlay: http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/blob/master/sci-
mathematics/sympow/sympow-1.018-r1.ebuild (look at it for more detailed
comments on what the patch does). To successfully use it, apply it to
sympow's source and do the following (would go into spkg-install):
* install sympow's *.gp scripts into $SAGE_LOCAL/share/sympow
* install sympow's datafiles (A012M.txt, A012S.txt and so on) into
$SAGE_LOCAL/share/sympow/datafiles
* the patch creates a wrapper script "sympow-start" which copies the
datafiles from the share-directory to $HOME/.sympow (if it does not exist
yet) so that sympow can read and write in that directory - give the script
execute-permissions and make sure you start the script "sympow-start"
instead of the binary. A better idea would be to rename the sympow binary
and to rename the script to "sympow" (without "-start"), of course.
With the patch you also should be able to create the precomputed data
which is needed for some optional tests.
