A slightly longer answer :-} For .hg, definitely - this is necessary for development. One generally doesn't know that he will want to be a developer when he downloads a "binary" tarball, but when something breaks, he may find himself drawn, irresistibly, to the light side.... The directory 'build', in $SAGE_ROOT/spkg may not be necessary, but it is empty (at least, in the tarballs I've checked). I can't say for sure about necessity. HTH Justin -- Justin C.
