Re: [gentoo-science] [sage-on-gentoo] sage(math) 6.8 is out

[François Bissey]

Just a precision. Using bin-html or html means that LINGUAS=“en” must be
set. The mean reason for that is two fold.
1) if LINGUAS is not set at all, no html documentation would be installed
2) the “en” language is the reference documentation and the only one to be
complete. No other language has a translation of the reference documentation.
Only some tutorials and/or “tour of sage”.

And also one of main point of getting the html documentation is to make
it available in the sage-notebook and because only the English version
has the complete reference I won’t work on getting the notebook to default
to another language.
