not remove the spkg-src script.
Okay. I'll post a new commit tonight (can't do that now : I'm at work, and
I prepare tickets on a home machine).
I intend to discuss your proposal seriously : it entails creating a spkg-
src file for **all** packages, thus making it mandatory. And making
mandatory the use of a functional Internet connection for any
installation/update. No more updates for an isolated/firewalled machine...
And since we pay this price, it should be logical to limit Sage tarballs
to a very bare minimum of sage-specific files and patches.
I'm not sure that's where we should go... But this is the subject of your
proposal-to-be, that will be discussed on its ticket.
