Comment (by leif):
Harald, also note Jeroen's comment I quoted [comment:72 above].
Meanwhile, it's not just standard packages, but also optional packages, of
which (only) some now have the "new style", i.e., the data of newer ones
is hardcoded into the Sage releases, while obsolete "old-style" packages
remain in `spkg/optional/list` (and `spkg/optional/`).
`./sage --optional` shows some examples of optional packages which became
standard:
{{{
Optional packages:
...
git-1.7.12.2.p0 ........................ installed version: 2.3.0
...
pyzmq-2.1.11.p1 ........................ installed version: 14.3.0
...
zeromq-3.2.0.p0 ........................ installed version: 4.0.5
}}}
There are other still optional packages where `sage -i ...` would install
newer versions than listed by `sage --optional` because the "local
metadata" (`$SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/<package>/package-version.txt`) differs
from what `spkg/optional/list` gives. (Same issue as with our current
standard packages.)
A more funny one is TOPCOM:
`./sage -i TOPCOM` installs the "legacy" spkg, while `./sage -i topcom`
installs the "new-style" spkg. (The package versions are currently still
the same though, modulo a `.p0` for the "new-style" one.)
