Canonical binary names

[William Stein]

Hi,

After procrastinating 3 years, I finally wrote a script to create
bdist's with fairly canonical names on different platforms. It's

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/bin/botdist

You just make sure it is in your PATH, and from SAGE_ROOT type

botdist

Note that the last line of that script will obviously only work for me
(so you would have to change it, or ignore the error, which is safe).

I'm currently using this to generate binaries for 4.3.2, which are
appearing here:

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/binaries/4.3.2/

I also put Alex Ghitza's contributed binary in the "other"
subdirectory, but I don't think the name is so good, so maybe it has
to be renamed.

William

Hooray!

Please add the following change/distinction: instead of "...-
PowerMacintosh-..." (a name the second part of which is superfluous
anyway, because of the "Darwin" at the end of the canonical naming
scheme), I propose to use:

...-PowerPC_G4-...

...-PowerPC_G5-...

according to the respective hardware the binary is produced on.
There's no automatic detection to distinguish a G4 from G5 yet, but
I'll think about it and let you know as soon as possible. In the
meantime, I'll (re-)name the OS X 10.4 PowerPC_G4 Sage-4.3.2 .dmg I've
just created accordingly.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Georg

Unfortunately, the script above doesn't (or does it?) yet distinguish
between PPC and Intel, so does not solve http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7623
. Georg, would that be fairly easy to do, though? This script could
be then named sage-auto-bdist or something like that and put in /local/
bin.

Example OS X names are:

sage-4.3.2-OSX-32bit-10.5-i386-Darwin.dmg
sage-4.3.2-OSX-32bit-10.5-PowerMacintosh-Darwin.dmg
sage-4.3.2-OSX-64bit-10.6-i386-Darwin.dmg

The script I wrote *ONLY* has anything to do with this part of the
name: "sage-4.3.2-OSX-32bit-10.5".
The Sage "sage-bdist" script postpends "-i386-Darwin.dmg" to the name.
Thus your request about
PowerPC versus PowerMacintosh isn't relevant directly to my script,
but to the sage-bdist command.

You're right of course,
I should have looked more closely at the .dmgs I produce regularly ...
