You can toss some "sage -i's" in the beginning of the spkg-install for qsnake. > Another thing --- I'd like to create some repository with my packages, > so that people can just "sage -i" install them, without having to > first wget all the spkg and install them manually.

A while ago I added a feature so one can do sage -i http://url.to.an.spkg/anywhere/on/the/net and sage will download the spkg and install it. That might be good for you so that users do *not* have to use wget (which they might not have, e.g., it isn't on OS X). > I know that all of this is reinventing the wheel and basically doing > what linux distributions are doing, but Sage imho is a distribution -- > a source distribution that runs everywhere and actually compiles --- We definitely try very hard and it will only keep getting better.
