> Why do we need a {{{sage_root.spkg}}}? I don't see a reason for a "root
repo" to ever exist in tarball form.
The way things are set up right now, if you upgrade an existing sage
installation then the updated `SAGE_ROOT_REPO` will merge updates to the
`$SAGE_ROOT` repository. As long as we don't have an official online
repository to pull changes from I don't see any better way to do the
upgrade. Am I missing something?
I agree that we need to disentangle the `sage_root` repository more from
`sage_scripts`. Basically, everything that `sage_scripts/spkg-install`
manually copies into `$SAGE_ROOT` should be part of the root repo, like
`README.txt`. But I think this can wait until we actually do have a
`sage_root` repository. Then it'll be easy to write complimentary patches
for the two repositories that clean this up.
I'm also totally in favour of merging the spkg/base repo. Since that has
only 26 log entries (with the most recent one from July), I think we can
live without preserving its history. Right now we don't use this
repository during upgrades as far as I know.
If you agree with this then I'll make a followup ticket...
