The details are a bit long to explain but everything provided by sage is |
19 |
currently split. Technically what is missing is some scripts from the spkg |
20 |
sage_scripts (provided by our sage-baselayout ebuild). Most of the files in |
21 |
$SAGE_LOCAL/bin of a vanilla install that starts with sage are provided |
22 |
by this |
23 |
spkg. And we omit a lot of them, some are already installed only on use flag |
24 |
request. We could add more if it was useful and feasible from a package |
25 |
management perspective. |
26 |
|
27 |
I must say that talking with sage-developers interested in sage installed with |
28 |
portage there is a possibility that some stuff may come back in some form once |
29 |
we figured it out. Something like sage -combinat creates a new sage branch. |
30 |
There is a possibility that we could allow such a branch to be created |
31 |
inside a |
32 |
user account (not system wide) and allow its use. But that's still some |
33 |
way off |
34 |
on my map. In fact it may come as a surprise to my fellow sage-on-gentoo devs. |
