made standard.

It's about 60MB extra, but it would really make it possible to distribute
an essentially standard configuration of GAP, reducing the chances of
various mishaps, and easing the support a lot.

Thus I'm calling for a vote on this: to make database_gap standard as soon
as license permits (i.e. as soon as we update to GAP 4.9).

well, yes --- but this is more of a detail. No vote is needed to merge 
standard packages, I suppose.

I am all for including those database as standard ASAP.

However currently it is put in a separate package from the main gap
spkg by sage devs. So rather than making database_gap standard I say
just stop splitting it from the main gap install.

[sage-devel] making database_gap (starting from GAP 4.9) standard - please vote

[Dima Pasechnik]

GAP 4.9 (a release candidate, released 1st Feb) has  smallgrps and 
transgrps, two GAP packages/libraries which are extremely useful, with 
GPL-compatible licenses. In the past (and up to current GAP 4.8)
they had licenses non-GPL compatible licenses, preventing them from being 
made standard.

It's about 60MB extra, but it would really make it possible to distribute 
an essentially standard configuration of GAP, reducing the chances of 
various mishaps, and easing the support a lot.

Thus I'm calling for a vote on this: to make database_gap standard as soon 
as license permits (i.e. as soon as we update to GAP 4.9).
