... in
GAP.Packages.install
.This is meanwhile supported by GAP's PackageManager package.
The most interesting application is perhaps
GAP.Packages.load
with argumentinstall = true
, because now we can ask for loading a good enough version of a perhaps previously not installed package, and getfalse
if this is not possible.(Also fixed now:
GAP.Packages.load
had returnedfail
in some situations, nowfalse
is returned in these cases.)Resolves issue #627.
