Comment:
The current documentation in the Sage Developer's Guide says in Chapter 2,
subsection 8.1, item (f) about Creating a New spkg: ... Post a copy on the
Sage trac server ...
This is outdated. I took the opportunitiy to rewrite subsection 8.1, add
two subsections 8.2 and 8.3, and assemble two live examples (to go under
the examples directory) and a script "sage-create-spkg" which e.g. creates
a template SPKG.txt and the mandatory hg repo. The script called on the
examples result in working spkg, that install fine.
Well, at least at the author's Mac. So it would be good if the referee
could use and test it on a Linux machine.
The contents are based on a discussion with Michael Abshoff on sage-devel,
half of the credit (at least) goes to him. All the remaining mistakes are
mine, of course :-)
