+
+dd_functions is a SAGE package free to get from the git repository
+http://git.risc.jku.at/gitweb/?p=ajpastor/diff_defined_functions.git/
+hosted by RISC (Research Intitute for Symbolic Computation).
+
+This package was developed in the research funded by the Austrian Science Fund
+(FWF): W1214-N15, project DK15.

+
+In this repository several files can be found int root folder:
+
+ - Makefile: a Makefile used for easy distribution of this repository. We do
+ NOT recommend to use it.
+ - SPKG.txt: general information file with the description of the project the
+ name and email address of the author, and the License under which this project
+ was developed.
+ - dependencies: a file for the installation of the package in other SAGE systems.
+ It contains no dependencies.
+ - package-version.txt: a file with the number of the current version distributed
+ in this repository.
+ - setup.py: the installation file for this package. WARNING: this file and
+ installation has not been tested.
+ - type: file containing the keyword for the type of SAGE pakage this is. Currently
+ it is "optional".
+ - README.txt: the present file.
+
+These files are not intended to be currently used by the user of this package since
+the setup file has not been yet tested. Within this root folder, two main folders
+can be found:
+
+ - ajpastor: the main folder with the Python-compiled source code. This is the
+ main folder the user should be concerned for.
+ The user can add this file to the SAGE searching path (in the init.sage file
+ of their SAGE distribution), or run SAGE from the root folder of the repository.
+
+ This would give direct access to the sode developed in this project with the
+ following syntax:
+ sage: from ajpastor.dd_functions import *
+ If some particualr package want to be loaded, just use the usual python import
+ notation naming the package aftes the "ajpastor" initial folder.
+ EXAMPLE: sage: from ajpastor.operator.OreOperator import *;
+
+ - releases: in this folder the current version and older releases for the coded
+ are stored (in .zip format). This files are named in the following way:
+ diff_defined_functions__XX.zip
+ where "XX" is the number of the version of the project they contain.
+ Inside this folder another directory can be found. This zip files follows the
+ same convention for naming as in the "releases" folder, but it add also the
+ date and hour this version was commited to the repository.
+

+ named "old". Inside this fodler one can find the same kind of .zip files
+ for all the intermidiate releases for the code.
