Entirely by coincidence, unrelated to this thread, I just opened: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/26029 I'm glad to know there's at least someone who uses it. I was not able to find a copy of the package itself on any of the Sage mirrors I checked. But I think we should decide what to do about it. Keeping it as a .spkg isn't really helpful, and keeping "huge" packages as a special case for still supporting .spkgs defeats the purpose of dropping support. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
