The timing will work out fine. We will begin getting all of our packages into the new format and put them on sage.math. Once you have the packages system reworked, we can't think about merging our spkgs with yours. Unfortunately I am leaving on a 2 week trip/vacation (up to the San Juans) starting the 21st, so the merging might not be able to take place until early August. But all of our spkgs should be on sage.math in the new format before then.
