Last August, I released the first version of my slabbe-0.1.spkg. I had to choose at that time between the old-style and the new style. I explained here [1] why I finally choose the old-style. If I use the new style and I release slabbe-0.2 tomorrow during a conference let say for fixing a bug found by a colleague, then the version 0.2 won't install on the sage installation of my colleague. Why? The checksums need to be updated. And, I want it to be a simple installation one liner like "sage -i slabbe-0.2.spkg" that anybody can do. That is why I believe that old style is still usefull for packages farther from sage (my package is not listed anywhere I think).

A command like the following would make me happy: sage -i --forgetaboutchecksums slabbe-0.2.tar Sébastien On Tuesday, January 6, 2015 4:33:14 AM UTC-5, Simon King wrote: > > Hi Francois, > > On 2015-01-06, Francois Bissey <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > > Are you meaning that you still update it as an “old” spkg? > > Yes.
