Comment(by jhpalmieri):
A few comments on sage-README.osx.txt:
- overall, I like the changes.
- when I create the app and open up the dmg, I see two "files":
README.txt and "Sage-VERSION". I don't see anything called "Sage-
VERSION.app". When I don't create the app, I see README.txt and a
'''folder''' called "sage". So maybe we could change
{{{
One is as a
"regular" OS X application named something like Sage-VERSION.app. If
you see such an application skip to the section about Sage.app.
}}}
to
{{{
One is as a
"regular" OS X application named something like Sage-VERSION. If
you see such an application, skip to the section about Sage.app.
If you instead see a folder called "sage", proceed as follows.
}}}
- on line 56, "holding the option" should either be "holding option" or
"holding the option key". I have a slight preference for the second of
these, in which case "holding command" should be changed correspondingly.
- I don't understand the instructions
{{{
Therefore please use something like
SAGE_BROWSER=${SAGE_BROWSER-YOUR_VALUE}
}}}
Maybe add an explicit example?
- would it be worth adding a section on how to build the app if you don't
have it? This could be combined with, or referenced from, the section on
Tiger and the comment on running "sage -bdist".
