 Replying to [comment:117 jdemeyer]:
 > New spkg version:
 [http://cage.ugent.be/~jdemeyer/pari-2.4.3.svn.p7.spkg],

 Why do you chose that name? The .p7 should only be integrated into Sage
 where there are 7 previous versions of 2.4.3. Since the software says

 {{{
 Shall we try to build pari 2.4.3 (development svn-12543) now (y/n)? [n]
 }}}

 I think a better name would be

 {{{
 pari-2.4.3.svn-12543
 }}}

 as that is the version of Pari that it is based upon. Then, assuming this
 version was merged, subsequent updates in Sage would be called
 pari-2.4.3.svn-12543.p0, pari-2.4.3.svn-12543.p1, pari-2.4.3.svn-12543.p2
 etc.

 Certainly, the first revision put into Sage should not have a patch level
 of 7.

 http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/patching_spkgs.html

 says ''If the upstream package is taken from some revision other than a
 stable version, you need to append the date at which the revision is made,
 e.g. the Singular package singular-3-1-0-4-20090818.p3.spkg is made with
 the revision as of 2009-08-18. ''

 However, I think in this case, the fact the upstream does have a version
 number (in this case 2.4.3.svn-12543), that should be used rather than a
 date.
