OK. If you look now at
http://sagemath.org/packages/optional/
you'll see the package is called fricas-0.3.1.spkg so users
install it by doing
sage -i fricas-0.3.1
The main plus of this packaging for sage is that it builds from
source quickly (in a few minutes) using precompiled clisp files.
Let me know if any other issues arise with Sage.
