Comment(by mvngu):

 The new Fortran spkg cuts about 7 MB. The Fortran spkg in Sage 4.3.1.rc0
 is about 40MB:
 {{{
 mv...@mod standard]$ du -hs fortran-20071120.p9.spkg
 40M     fortran-20071120.p9.spkg
 }}}
 while the new spkg is about 33 MB:
 {{{
 [mv...@mod fortran]$ du -hs fortran-20100117.spkg
 33M     fortran-20100117.spkg
 }}}
 That should be good news for mirroring and downloading the source
 distribution. Just a trivial nit-pick. The file `spkg-install` has changes
 that are not yet checked in:
 {{{
 [mv...@mod fortran-20100117]$ hg st
 M spkg-install
 }}}
 Since the Linux Fortran binaries have been removed from the Fortran spkg,
 do you still want to keep the following conditional in the file `spkg-
 install`? Between lines 75--81:
 {{{
     elif OS == 'linux':
        if arch == 'x86_64':
           print "Installing Linux x86-64 g95 compiler"
           file = 'g95_linux_64.tar.bz2'
        elif arch == 'i686' or arch == 'i586' or arch == 'i486' or arch ==
 'i386':
           print "Installing Linux i686 g95 compiler"
           file = 'g95_linux_32.tar.bz2'
 }}}
