Changes (by jdemeyer):

 * status:  positive_review => needs_work


Comment:

 The spkg needs some trivial work:

 In `SPKG.txt`, the license should be GPL v3+ and the following paragraph
 needs to be updated:
 {{{
 == Dependencies ==

  * GNU patch

  * libtermcap (or libncurses or libtinfo), but not Sage's one,
    since we only build a static version. I.e., the system has
    to provide one of these.
 }}}

 Also, the file `src/support/mkinstalldirs` is not user-writable, which is
 strange.
