Description (last modified by leif)

Cliquer used to use SCons, but for various reasons it was replaced by a simple Makefile. (IMHO, a good idea, as fighting with SCons seems to be a nightmare). Minh did the replacement, but there is an unnecessary dependency in spkg/standard/deps, which potentially means parallel builds are slower than they need be, as currently cliquer can't be built without SCons first being built.

  • Status changed from needs_review to positive_review

Just for the record: Upstream comes with a Makefile, too (no SConscript).

The attached deps and deps.diff still apply to Sage 4.5.3.rc0.

Positive review.

P.S.: There's a lot wrong with the Cliquer spkg, perhaps to be addressed at #9767.
