Hi all, |

As it has mentioned in an earlier posting sage-4.7.1 will only start if it has |
4 |
been emerged with the "testsuite" useflag. I believe this was caused by the |
5 |
inclusion of the following ticket: |
6 |
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9976 |
7 |
What happens, if I am not mistaken, is that sage is capable of introspect its |
8 |
own code to find information about the syntax of any commands. To do this it |
9 |
needs to have the code. That's not a problem with python file as it is code |
10 |
already. But sage can also look at its cython source files. The above ticket |
11 |
changed the behavior of the introspection of cython files. Traditionally we |
12 |
don't ship the cython source files unless the testsuite flag is enabled. The |
13 |
big worry in my opinion is sage is now checking its source code including cython |
14 |
files on start up. That can't be good for sage start up time. |

16 |
I'll try to get in touch with one of the ticket author to see if it is the |
17 |
desired behavior or if something needs to be fixed. |
