I didn't say you introduced them, doesn't make a difference to me though.
> I simply don't have time to go though another ticket like #9603, where
there were endless changes to {{{spkg-install}}} which took 6 weeks.
That had a couple of reasons. All my suggestions are above, and as I said
''some'' of them are minor, but at the same time most of them trivial to
fix without risk.
(Cf. the Cython upgrade, where I just "cleaned up" the {{{spkg-install}}}
by moving {{{cd src}}}, and Robert at the same time - with the original
spkg - ran into exactly the potential error to make by copying the patches
at the wrong point of the script, which one would not even have noticed
when installing the spkg.)
> Many of those proposed will need extensive testing,
I don't agree; also, the handling of {{{SAGE_DEBUG}}} e.g. and the use of
{{{set -e}}} is simply wrong '''as it is now'''.

spend a lot of time on this. It is not even causing any problems on any
systems I'm using.''

Nathann, is it you? ;-)

you create another ticket to clean this up if you feel it needs it.
It doesn't make sense to me to keep definite flaws in it, and postpone
fixing them to yet another ticket. And I don't have time for such either,
not to mention every new ticket needs new review and testing again.
It's currently a blocker, but meanwhile one for 4.6'''.1'''.
> I've got no idea of the situation with OpenSUSE
Me either, but the reason for upgrading readline was OpenSuSE!
