Comment (by jhpalmieri):
> However, those instructions don't actually work, for 2 reasons:
> 1. they use `install_package()` which no longer works (#16760 and
#16759)
> 2. the packages are no longer installable anyway (#19004)
3. Some of the packages have been archived, and automatic downloading of
archived packages was broken independently (?) of #19004. With Sage 6.8,
for example:
{{{
ERROR [download|run:133]: [Errno 404] Not Found:
'//mirrors.xmission.com/sage//spkg/archive/list'
sed: /Users/palmieri/.sage//archive.list: No such file or directory
Error: could not find a package matching python-2.5.1-framework on
http://mirrors.xmission.com/sage//spkg
}}}
4. On my OS X machine, `python-2.5.1-framework.spkg` does not install.
