question about 99sage-doc-bin #473

Closed Alessandro-Barbieri closed 7 years ago

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 7 years ago

Is 99sage-doc-bin deprecated? I'm working on the profile and I need to know if is needed or not.

kiwifb commented 7 years ago

It is not deprecated. It is a sane default for documentation on the "stable" branch. Sage documentation requires a lot of memory and not everyone has the capacity to build it. It was a mistake on my part to try to do away with it in 7.5.

On the "unstable" branch you have to build your own doc, it is too costly to provide some at each beta release (or even every snapshot on the vbraun branch of the overlay).

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 7 years ago

I was asking only because in https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/blob/master/README.rst line 98 is mentioned sage 6.8

I see, I should have future proofed that statement. Actually I may reword that now that it is the norm.

kiwifb commented 7 years ago

I have pushed a new version of the readme file if you want to comment on it.

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 7 years ago

It's fine.
