Fix four SPKGs with irregular directory structures

[kini]

The following SPKGs do not have a src/ directory:

sage_scripts
extcode
libm4ri
sage_root
elliptic_curves
graphs
sage
polytopes_db

The sage spkgs are obviously supposed to be irregular (I guess) but the other four - libm4ri, elliptic_curves, graphs, and polytopes_db should follow the guidelines given in the developers' guide and have a src/ directory.

I have uploaded an spkg.

The above comment was a test of the newly upgraded trac server. Here are two more SPKGs.

And the last one.

CCing the maintainers of the SPKGs

comment:8

the elliptic_curves spkg still has the ellcurves directory (which should now be gone), also at the same time you may as well remove the xreadlines from the spkg-install since the command has be deprecated (in favor of just using an implicit iterator)

Oops, how did that happen... fixed (I think).

$ hg status

You caught me - that's already fixed, download it again :)

I also would remove Emily as the maintainer of the graphs spkg, she hasn't been around for years (if I had the source for her db file, I would maintain this package, but alas, I don't, maybe Jason or William does?).

Jason? William?

comment:14

also, in the polytopes_db I would suggest changing the cp to a mv (like you did with the graphs spkg), removes nearly all io assuming you are building and installing on the same disk

Is the graphs spkg my 8-vertex graph properties database? It's a sqlite database, right? Probably the easiest thing to do is to dump the sql to a text file and put that in src/. We could even just distribute that and build the sqlite database on the fly when the spkg is installed.

Replying to @jasongrout:

We could even just distribute that and build the sqlite database on the fly when the spkg is installed.

I would suggest this, it should reduce the size of the spkg, which is always a good thing, and it shouldn't take long to build. Plus, I did a major refactoring of the SQLDatabase object in Sage last summer, and had to put some special cases in for the Graph's database (that could be fixed with this). In any case, I think this belongs in a separate ticket. For now, mark me as the maintainer of the graphs spkg.

Done and done.

comment:18

ok, looks good now

[kini]

Changed keywords from libm4ri elliptic_curves graphs polytopes_db to libm4ri elliptic_curves graphs polytopes_db rd2
