I just checked the diffs for the ticket description. It seems that, until 6 or 7 weeks ago, it was attempted to fit M4RIE into the new version of the M4RI spkg (the missing "E" means that it is for matrices over GF(2), not GF(2^e)). In that sense, it is not completely new. But apparently, Martin then thought it would be better to have two separate spkgs: The update of M4RI was subsequently tracked on #11574, and M4RIE became a separate spkg. Martin, correct me if I misunderstood. > It > appears that the new spkg is: > > http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/malb/spkgs/libm4ri-20110701.alph... No. The final spkg (the one that I was reviewing, anyway) is https://bitbucket.org/malb/m4ri/downloads/libm4rie-20110715.spkg and has been introduced to the ticket 6 weeks ago (in the diff between version 51 and 55 of the ticket). The spkg you mention has been briefly discussed in one post 7 weeks ago.
