Revision history [back]

This may depend on your machine. I don't think this "answers" your question, but these things are really dependent on the situation. In general, a fairly modern (i.e. fast) machine and normal distribution should not have any doctest failures (other than optional ones) and only a couple timeouts. (I get lots of timeouts on some of my machines, but they are also >5 years old, and setting SAGE_TIMEOUT or SAGE_TIMEOUT_LONG usually fixes that.)

So I guess what I'm saying is that it's better to first make sure your patch is removed, that no extra spkgs are included, run the doctests again and then report them immediately either to sage-release or sage-devel. Even if you have a non-standard setup, our goal is to fix any bugs we can find. Please let us know!

If you are using a prerelease version, on the other hand, we usually expect a certain number of errors to arise as people test them on various platforms.
