Download and install the Sage-combinat patches

We assume that:

• Sage is already installed (say in /opt/sage)
• The user has write access on the Sage installation tree

• The user has access to: http://sage.math.washington.edu:2144/

Open your Mercurial configuration file (~/.hgrc in your home directory), insert the following, and edit the username:

[ui]
username = Simon Cussonnet <Simon.Cussonnet at lycee-technique.torrez.eure.fr>
[extensions]
hgext.mq =
extdiff =
alias =
[alias]
qstatus = status --rev -2:.
[hooks]
pre-qrefresh = (echo "Are you sure you want to refresh the following changes:"; sage -hg status; echo -n "into the patch: "; hg qtop; read -p "(y/n)" answer; test "$answer" = "y"  )
[extdiff]
cmd.interdiff = hg-interdiff

Download the attachment:sage-combinat script, and run it from anywhere to download and install the Sage-combinat patches:

python sage-combinat install

In case Sage or python is not in the user's path, you may have to specify where they are, as in:

/opt/sage/sage-python sage-combinat install --sage=/opt/sage/sage

Note: starting from sage 3.1.3, the sage-combinat script is readily included in the sage distribution, and you can run it with:

sage -combinat install

Some help is available with:

/opt/sage/sage-python sage-combinat --help
