 As much as I know, sage -f of course does a re-installation. But ''if''
 SAGE_ROOT/spkg/optional/ contains a file xyz.spkg then it will use this
 file for re-installation; it will not attempt to download a new copy of
 that file.

 > Any more testing to be done? Or is the package ready to be moved from
 "need review" to "positive review"?

 On the bright side: It passes testing on various platforms, including some
 for which this is a good surprise. In addition, using the package I did a
 lot of computations that went smoothly, reproduce known results, but go
 much beyond the previously known.

 So, from this point of view, I think it is OK to move it to "positive
 review" (but I think ''you'' should do, because you are the reviewer, and
 don't forget to insert your name in the "Reviewer" field).

 On the dark side: Apparently nobody here has access to a computer with
 Motorola chips. Martin Albrecht said it is extremely likely that our
 package will not work on Motorola.

 I am about to write an email to William with you as Cc, and ask whether he
 can provide testing on Motorola, and if not, whether it is crucial for an
 optional package being tested on it.

 Best regards,
     Simon
