New description:
on Windows 7 tar does not unpack cddlib spkg correctly, symbolic
links get broken. See
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
windows/browse_thread/thread/d4965bfbc83a9bf8#
and
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/127433
A remedy is to replace them with files, i.e. use tar with -h option to
recreate the spkg---on a machine where tar works, certainly. Works for me.
Something along the following
lines:
{{{
/* on a Unix, with good tar: */
$ tar xjf foo.spkg
$ tar chjf foo.spkg foo/
$ tar xjf foo.spkg
$ sage -spkg foo
$ scp foo.spkg win7cygwinhost:/sageroot/spkg/standard/
}}}
affected packages: cddlib, networkx (and maybe more)
----
New spkgs available at [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman
/cddlib-094f.p9.spkg cddlib-094f.p9.spkg] and
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/dima/packages/networkx-1.2.p2.spkg
networkx-1.2.p2.spkg]
