== How to test: ==
(There's not yet an upgrade path to Sage 4.6.alpha'''3'''.)
'''Upgrade path for testing the fixes (v2b versions):
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"
}}}
(See also the [comment:63 comment below] regarding {{{LDSHARED}}}.)
Do the upgrade:
{{{
#!sh
$ ./sage -upgrade
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/dist/sage-4.6.upgradetest_alpha2/
}}}
Note that you'll be prompted to confirm upgrading (by typing "y" followed
by carriage return), so be careful when {{{tee}}}ing the output, since
currently the script's output isn't flushed s.t. you won't see the prompt
in that case and perhaps wait forever... ;-)
