The only reason that archive/ directory exists is that when I wrote the Sage package system I was very paranoid about never ever deleting anything, for fear of losing valuable work. But it's kind of ridiculous that you're wasting 3.6GB of disk space. Has anybody reading this *ever* looked in spkg/archive/?? If not, I vote for eliminating it entirely, and deleting old spkg's when their being upgraded instead of moving them to spkg/archive.
