Comment (by jhpalmieri):
Just to make sure I understand: the original purpose of this ticket was to
fix `standard_packages` (etc.), but not `sage --standard`, right? That's
fine with me.
For ease of maintenance (and for cleanliness of code, which isn't quite as
important), it would be best to not duplicate the work, so it would be
best to have `standard_packages` rely on `sage --standard`, or vice versa.
My strong preference is for `sage --standard` to ''not'' rely on
`standard_packages`, since `sage --standard` should work without having
built Sage.
That's my opinion, but I don't feel that strongly about the code
duplication, so I personally won't object if this ticket only fixes
`standard_packages` (etc.) by having it talk directly to the server. I
''will'' object if it also fixes `sage --standard` in such a way that it
won't work right after unpacking a fresh tarball.
(In my brief tests, by the way, this does fix the Sage functions as
intended. But I haven't looked at the actual changes to see if they make
sense.)
