Oh, William will and what we are experiencing now will happen again
once we would remerge it. See it as a payment to you for contributing
your code :)

Don't worry, other packages have caused way more grief.

mwrank compiles with gcc 4.2, so that has never been a problem. I am
not sure who fixed it, but the changes should have certainly flown
back into your tree. With the removal of mwrank.spkg that issue will
go away.
I am working on getting mwrank working with the cremona.spkg version,
i.e. the removal of the original mwrank.spkg. I will also send you a
patch for the gcc 4.3 fixes shortly. I will do some build testing on
my end to make sure I haven't broken anything and then merge it into
2.9.

I had a look at trac and currently the following tickets related to
mwrank are open:
#1058 the mwrank interface barfs on bad input
#1233 mwrank wrapper causes crashes and error on non-minimal curves
#1248 mwrank wrapper defect
#1256 mwrank*.spkg now redundant, included in cremona*.spkg
#1402 mwrank: "Invalid read" while Searching for Points
#1403 mwrank has termination issues
I will take care of #1256 now. If you have some time can you please
give an assessment of the other tickets and tell us which ones you
consider to be in your realm of your code base and which ones in the
realm of Sage?
Cheers,
Michael
