Comment(by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:19 jdemeyer]:
> Why do we set `SAGE_ROOT` inside `sage-env`? Given that `sage-env` is
only ever called when we already know `SAGE_ROOT` (i.e. we do `source
$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-env`).
Okay, I did find one counterexamples (I only looked in local/bin before):
- The top-level Makefile calls `sage-env` without first setting
`SAGE_ROOT`.
I also noticed that `data/extcode/sage/ext/mac-app/start-sage.sh` has its
own `SAGE_ROOT`-detecting code but it probably shouldn't and should use
`sage-env` instead.
