Hello,

I was just looking through the sage-sage script.

In the definition of the "install" function appears

    if [ $1 = '-m' -o $1 = '-s' ]; then
        OPT=$OPT" "$1
        shift
    fi

I see

     echo "  -i [packages] -- install the given Sage packages"
     echo "                   if no packages given, print a list of all 
installed"
     echo "  -i -s [packages] -- install the given Sage packages, not 
deleting their spkg/build directories."

in the documentation, but what is '-m' for? According to sage-spkg, it 
looks like '-s' and '-m' are treated in exactly the same way.

Maybe '-m' can be removed. I would even go that far and say, also remove 
'-s' and rather replace it by '--keep-spkg-build-directory'.

If I read the shell scripts correctly, then also

     echo "  -f [packages] -- force build of the given Sage package 
(even if already installed)"

can be called as '-f -s'. Shouldn't that be documented properly?

Ralf
