jsmath-image-fonts spkg installs to wrong directory

[jason]

With the update to the new sage notebook, the jsmath-image-fonts spkg now installs to the wrong directory.

This is what was done in the sage notebook a few days ago.  William had 
installed the optional jsmath-image-fonts spkg a long time ago.  What 
probably happened is that no one rebased the jsmath-image-fonts to copy 
to the right javascript directory, and since these all moved around with 
the new notebook code, everything is broken with respect to this spkg now.

A solution is to modify the spkg to install to the right location, and 
install it again on sagenb.org.

Installed 4.1.2. and the old spkg file with image fonts. I got this error I copied the image fonts from /opt/sage/local/notebook/javascript/ jsmath to /opt/sage/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sagenb/data/ javascript/jsmath and everything works fine.

The fixed spkg file is at ​http://user.mendelu.cz/marik/temp/jsmath-image-fonts-1.4.spkg (cannot upload to trac server due to the filesize limit)

The description of the change is at ​http://groups.google.cz/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/3bce4bbe7ace0dc0

The spkg didn't have the changed checked in. Also, it had some old bash-isms that would make it not work with some /bin/sh's. Also, it would fail on any sage before 4.1.2, so I decided to fix it by (1) making it work on older sage's still, and (2) checkin the repo. I also updated the spkg name to .p1. The new spkg is here:

So instead of me giving this a positive review, somebody else should look at it.

How should we deal with #7196? A special JSMATH_HOME variable?

Also: Should we add the ​extra fonts?

I updated spkg-install to handle post-#7196 new notebooks. For another reviewer:

Works fine on fresh install of Sage 4.1.2. However (as new) I give up the closing of this ticket to some more skilled Sage user/developer. Thank you for the fix. Robert

Positive review -- looks good to me. I've posted the spkg here and closed the ticket. ​http://sagemath.org/packages/optional/
