Description changed by jdemeyer:
Old description:
> This is really really bad:
> {{{
> $ ./sage -i chomp
> Attempting to download package chomp
> Error: could not find a package matching chomp
> Try 'sage --package list' to see the available packages
> Did you mean: csdp, gmp, cbc, cmake, cvxopt?
> }}}
New description:
Ticket #19004 has the very user-unfriendly consequence that all old-style
packages are effectively gone:
{{{
$ ./sage -i chomp
Attempting to download package chomp
Error: could not find a package matching chomp
Try 'sage --package list' to see the available packages
Did you mean: csdp, gmp, cbc, cmake, cvxopt?
}}}
Instead of removing support for old-style packages, we should deprecate
them.
