I have no opinion on whether this approach is on the whole a good idea, but I will point out that "which curl" is not as portable as "command -v curl". We had an issue a while ago with "which" not behaving properly on some platform -- maybe on Solaris "which blah" had a return status of 0 even

Okay. I I have followed you correctly, we have two (mutually incompatible) options : - (Dima's option) : package curl, pcre and xz as standard packages, and make R depend on them (unconditionnally). - (Jean-Pierre option) : add tjem to Sage's core, but build them if and only if

Maybe it is not that bad if the automagic detection system is not that good. If the automatic stuff works magically on usual config, let's say large Linux distros, that's enough. As long as we have "--with-x" options to pass to configure for making Sage more distro friendly and let smart people

[sage-devel] add curl as a standard package

It looks like curl , which was formerly installed by R installation, must now be installed in order to install R. One can note that a problem will rarely exists, since most Sage users
