 for version 2, supposed to work with version 3 too?

 Yes.  See the instructions in the ticket description.

 I think it's best to take a working version of Sage, apply the patch to
 the scripts repo (by cd'ing to SAGE_ROOT/local/bin and applying it), and
 then run "sage -sdist ...".  (I guess it doesn't have to be a "working
 version", but enough things have to be installed for "sage -sdist ..." to
 work.)  This will copy the appropriate files, which now include sage-
 check-64, to spkg/base.

 {{{.}}} - i.e. just a dot. It is more portable, and will work on shells
 which don't support {{{source}}}.

 Are there any differences between . and source?  That is, if I make this
 change, does it require other changes (do I still use "return" rather than
 "exit" in sage-check-64, for instance)?
