Description

For security *and* size purposes, some people delete all the .hg repos from Sage. This breaks installing precisely four of them: extcode, sage, sage_root, sage_scripts. This ticket fixes all these.

  • Authors changed from William Stein to William Stein, Keshav Kini
  • Keywords sd40.5 added
  • Status changed from new to needs_review

I guess this should fix everything...

  • Reviewers set to William Stein

I'm testing this on sage.math by build/testing from scratch with the four .hg repos mentioned above deleted.

comment:4 Changed 7 years ago by was

The sage_scripts part fails: 

gcc version 4.6.3 (GCC) 
****************************************************
./spkg-install: line 24: /scratch/wstein/ref/sage-5.0/local/bin//.hg/hgrc: No such file or directory

That this won't work is obvious if you look at spkg-install.

I don't really understand what you did. To make this work you will need to do sage -sdist first, then build from that. At what point are the .hg repos deleted?

comment:7 in reply to: ↑ 6 Changed 7 years ago by was

Replying to kini:

I don't really understand what you did.

  1. Extra sage-5.0.tar
  2. tar xf something.spkg
  3. Apply your patch(es)
  4. Delete .hg directory
  5. sage -pkg something
  6. make

comment:8 Changed 7 years ago by kini

OK, so please instead try this:

  1. Have a Sage installation
  2. Apply my patches (and your patch) to the repos in the installation of Sage
  3. Run sage --sdist
  4. Unpack the resulting sage-whatever.tar
  5. Go to spkg/standard
  6. tar xf the four SPKGs
  7. Delete .hg directory
  8. sage -pkg the four SPKGs
  9. make in the root of the extracted Sage source distro

Yeah, this needs more work. There is a ton of usage of hg throughout the scripts. Big mess.

the extcode spkg should be fixed in #13123.

  • Milestone changed from sage-5.11 to sage-5.12

  • Milestone changed from sage-6.1 to sage-6.2

comment:13 Changed 6 years ago by chapoton

  • Milestone changed from sage-6.2 to sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix
  • Status changed from needs_work to needs_review

This seems to be a mercurially dead ticket, now that we have switched to git.
