Replying to [comment:9 jhpalmieri]:
> testcc.sh gets used in the spkg-install file for libm4ri, so if we add
testcc.sh to the scripts repo, then we need to make sure that the scripts
spkg is a prerequisite for libm4ri.
Having thought about this more, I think it would be better if they were in
the root repository.
There are lots of bits of code in Sage which are testing if the compilers
are Sun or GNU. Those bits could be dramatically simplified by using the
{{{testcc.sh}}} and {{{testcxx.sh}}} scripts. Look in rubiks for example.
There are probably 20 or more spkg-install scripts which are using some
test for the Sun compiler in one form or another. I've just never got
around to re-writing them to use those scripts, but long-term it would be
more sensible to remove a lot of things from numerous spkg-install scripts
and use the more portable and robust scripts.
As such, I think it might be better if those scripts were available early
on, which would be achieved by having them in the root repository.
