I really wonder what those patches are about. AFAIK they are related to backporting changes to releases, but the need for this disappears completely if the upstream sources are all the time consistent with Sage. > But what you *could* do is the following: > [...] > and see what happens. > Hmm, again, it is not something that I would like to do on my own computer, but rather provide a daily tarball or "spkg" to be tested in that bot.

Assuming that they are already available in Sage, they are not even needed in a normal build -- for instance, on my copy of Ubuntu, I rarely use the versions that come with ECL, as the operating system already provides better versions --. The rest is very much integrated and is what has to be tested.
