Replying to [comment:56 vbraun]:
> IMHO its better to keep the upstream tarball as unmodified as possible.
If we'd provide URLs to them...
Ideally we would have "checksums" for all kinds of tarballs (along with
the URLs) whether offered by upstream / 3rd party ("almost" mirrors) or
(just) us, and/or provide a checksum for the ''uncompressed'' tarball.
> Its bad enough that our retarded build system can't deal with the
upstream `.tgz` ending.
Yes, it's sad we still don't fully support MS-DOS.
> But at least now the checksum is still the same as on python.org (they
don't offer bz2 downloads).
Which is an upstream bug we used to fix... ;-)
[[BR]]
Ceterum censeo Sage should support (and use) `.xz` (as btw. a couple of
included packages do since quite some time IIRC).
