Dear Sage-Devel,

I have four questions that I couldn't find addressed on "Producing New
Sage Packages" at 
http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html

I can create my spkg with
   sage -pkg my_package_name-3.1415
so that's not the question.

1. hg
When the package is made, it is remarked that there is no mercurial
repository in the package
Should there be one? The above page doesn't mention it, if I'm not
mistaken.

2. SPKG.txt
When it is made, it complains about SPKG.txt being missing.
SPKG.txt is not mentioned in the above page, although it would be the
right place IMO.
Is there any guide line about writing SPKG.txt?

3. Documentation
With
  sage -docbuild reference html
one can produce nice manual pages. Is there some support for producing
html documentation of a package?
Wouldn't the following be a nice feature:
  sage -docbuild package_name html
produces an html documentation for the package and inserts it into the
sage reference manual, perhaps as a section 'package_name' in a
chapter 'Installed Packages'. Of course it is assumed here that there
is some appropriate infrastructure in the package.

4. Testing
Is automated (doc) testing of an spkg supported?

Best regards,
     Simon
