[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/sage/spkg/../COPYING.txt] shouldn't work
while John's URL works.
I think that on the official Sage mirrors, none of the top-level files
(makefile or Makefile, COPYING.txt, etc.) are available for download via
the URLs in the sage-update script. So if we have VERSION.txt only in the
top-level, it won't be available for download (unless the scripts which
make the official release available are rewritten). That is, after Sage
4.6.1 is released, running "sage -upgrade" with no arguments will fail to
download VERSION.txt because that file won't be anywhere on the server.
I could be wrong, though. Does anyone know for sure what files are
mirrored on the official servers? Browsing around the /home/sagemath
directory on sage.math, for example the www-files subdirectory, I don't
see 'makefile' anywhere...
