Sure, I assume you mean individual srpms.

Well, you can skip the build by modifying $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard/
deps, but the recommended way would be to add you scripts/config file
to the spkgs themselves. For example we fixed a bug yesterday in ATLAS
that causes compile time on Pentium M to be very, very excessive. That
patch has been posted to the ATLAS bug tracker, but not merged yet. So
far there hasn't been any reaction :(

Thanks for your efforts, we need to make more progress on packaging
Sage for distributions. I assume that we could run an extra rpm repo
with all the packages that haven't made it into FC for example yet.

Open a thread there. Get a trac account and open ticket there with
patches once they have been discussed here. For a trac account contact
me offlist. You should send me a non-funny account name (gri6507 is
considered funny) and a password.
Cheers,
Michael
