Comment:
I have a spkg that supports SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/drake/code/sage/st/sagetex-2.3.1.spkg.
Please review.
I do have a question about what I did in `spkg-install`: right now, when
it tries to build the documentation and fails, it puts a file in the doc
directory explaining the failure. But the installation fails. If someone
is building Sage with SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS set, the build will fail if
the documentation can't be built -- so why put the file in the doc
directory saying that it failed?
I have a couple ideas for what to do and would like some feedback:
* if building the docs fails, print the "you can download the pdfs"
message to stdout, instead of putting it in a file -- then the user who is
trying to build Sage can see how to correct the error.
* if building the docs fails, automatically try to download the docs
using wget or curl -- and if that works, don't do the "exit 1" in spkg-
install so the build can continue.
Thoughts?
