Comment (by tscrim):
I agree with John: try to keep things as intact as possible. It should be
possible to simply detach the `SPKG.txt` and `sage-install` scripts from
spkg and put those (and `sage-check` and any patches) in
`build/pkgs/p_group_cohomology` (with a `package-version.txt`,
`checksums.ini`, and `type` files; see any other spkg). Then run `sage -sh
sage-fix-pkg-checksums`. You should put a clean tarball of the necessary
source in the `upstream` folder (this will be the upstream tarball that
will go on the Sage mirrors), which should be everything else. Then, and
only then, check that it installs (otherwise I found it deletes the
tarball).
Just to be clear, I think it would be better to simply transition the spkg
style here and now and consider doing upgrades later (with a version bump
of your spkg).
Also have you considered bitbucket? They do hg repositories and you can
keep your upstream there (and under hg control instead of git). Also they
seem to be more generous than github for free (private) academic
repositories.
