'''Upgrade path for testing the fixes:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/dist/sage-4.6.upgradetest_alpha2/'''
If you want to speed up the upgrade (i.e., reduce the number of packages
that get rebuilt) on systems other than Cygwin, HP-UX and Solaris, do the
following '''before''' starting the upgrade:
{{{
#!sh
$ touch spkg/installed/iconv-1.13.1.p3
}}}
(This package is only used on the above systems, but upgrading it triggers
the rebuild of MPIR on '''any''' platform, which in turn causes rebuilding
all packages that directly or indirectly depend on MPIR, the GMP
replacement package.)
On MacOS X, one should at the moment either do an "in-place" upgrade
(without renaming the directory / copying the original installation) or do
the following '''before''' running {{{./sage -upgrade ...}}}:
{{{
#!sh
$ export LDSHARED="gcc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup"
}}}
