SageAppliance not more maintained after 8.1?
Hi all. I am coming back to Sage after a long time. Working under Windows, I used Sage under VirtualBox without particular problems. Now I see that there exist direct Windows binaries, but with some limitations (e.g. it is not possible to install further packages). So I tried to also download the latest SageAppliance, but I noticed that, while completely absent in many mirrors, in some of them there is still at maximum the old 8.1.ova. So I would like to ask if the virtual appliances are not more maintained, and if for Windows it is mandatory to use the binaries, with the present limitations. Thanks.
FWIW it is possible now to install optional packages on Windows, though not all packages will install out-of-the-box, as they have not all been tested on Windows.
