If what you are saying is true, then that is appalling, David.
I believe it is true.
There's a list here of the packages which have spkg-check files.
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/1d6d6ad88557674d?hl=en#
as you can see, there are just 19 of them, which is about 20%.
I've added the required file to python and boehm_gc, but that still leaves a lot
untested.
Remember also, most people will never run these, as typing 'make' or 'make test'
will not run them. You need to export SAGE_CHECK to "yes" to even run them.
There might be the odd package which runs 'make check' or 'make test' from
spkg-install. (I know MPFR does). But I think such packages are very rare.
Any
package which is not rigorously tested is completely and utterly
broken, as anyone who code, knows.
My single biggest concern with Sage is that I do not believe it is tested
sufficiently.
