> I don't like the idea of running `sage` after `make build` since it
certainly doesn't belong to that target
I think it does. Currently, after `make build` (or simply `make`), Sage
'''does not work''' for a different user. I think `make build` should
result in a proper Sage installation, which means that it should work for
'''every user'''.
> it shouldn't be run from `spkg/install` but the `Makefile`
Why? I like `spkg/install` better because it allows us to run Sage only
if something was actually installed. You don't want to run Sage everytime
somebody does `make foo` for various values of "foo". Also, IIRC, we run
`spkg/install` on upgrading but not a top-level `make all` or `make
build`.
> Or run `sage-location` from there if `make` did anything, but we should
in principle run it from elsewhere.
Running `sage-location` is certainly not sufficient to generate all files
needed to run Sage.
> Someone who is going to install Sage system-wide should run `make
ptestlong`
Let the sysadmin decide whether they want to run `make ptestlong` or not,
I want to give him the option of NOT doing it.
> Also note that `sage` (or `sage-location`) should be run (at least)
'''after''' it has been moved to its final installation location, which is
likely to happen ''after'' having built Sage.
I would think most people run Sage from the location where they installed
it, or equivalently, install Sage in the location they want to run it
from. In any case, this does not invalidate the reasons for this ticket.
