I have not had a "stable" internet connection for several weeks now
(travelling -- I access internet through coffes, and when I am lucky in
the hotels I stay in if they have a connection), and I will not be able to
update this spkg until at least one week and a half. Sorry for that.
On the technical side David, we have known for a long time that we view
development very differently. I try not to forget that you want Sage to be
a "professionnal" software, with all the necessary -- what I call --
administration (standard procedures for modification of the code, correct
documentation, supporting many platforms, changelogs, etc...). Even though
it very often seems "too much" for my way of doing, I have two things to
admit :
* You think Sage will be improved through all this, and your intent is
good
* It requires a lot of work, which you often do yourself
In the end, even though I have a different way to work, it sounds like we
are both trying to work on the same piece of (great) software, as
efficiently as we can. This is why I am asking this question to a fellow
developper :
There are necessary things in all this administration, to ensure that
everything stays correct (doctests, spkg-checks, ...), or documented, or
logged. But don't you think somethings goes really wrong when it takes 2
weeks, 2 persons, and 30 minutes or 1 hour of cumulated worktime to add an
url to a file ?
How do you think we could simplify these things ? I am confident any mean
you could name would never harm Sage's reliability.
I promise you will have this spkg updated with the modifications you
requested as soon as I have a -- real -- internet connection. I may even
be able to find a way to send it tomorrow ! :-)
