That's a good point, didn't occur to me, that it won't work for parallel compilation. Does Sage work with parallel installation of packages? Looking at the README: http://boxen.math.washington.edu/sage/src/README.txt it doesn't seem to be the default way? I also started to compile Sage 4.6.2 on my computer, and it seems to be compiling in sequential mode. > so in the spkg that lists them.

Personally (and that is just my opinion), I don't like to maintain a list of files in the spkg itself, I don't think that's a good solution. I think that a better solution is to disable uninstall if the user uses parallel compilation of packages. Note that parallel compilation (make -j9) inside one package is ok. > With that information it would be relatively easy to automatically translate > spkgs into distribution source packages (e.g. srpm).
