> I've been testing openSUSE lately - and theory and practice are
completely reversed. Sage does not build on 11.1 due to readline 5.x being
the default there. Whereas on openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3, Sage builds properly
(a recent 4.6.1.rc0 snapshot).
> However, I'm not sure how to test if my final Sage 'works' w.r.t. the
readline/bash problem, so I will only claim that it builds and sage starts
properly.
This is a can of worms. Sage certainly was built on 11.1 on 21^st^
October.

I'll leave others to judge if my package is better or worst than the
present one. Obviously if someone can improve the readline package soon,
it would be good to get an improved version in Sage. But if nobody has the
time/resources to do so, then perhaps merging my 6.1 will be preferable to
leaving the old one.
