Hi,

I just wanted to raise awareness (and apologize) that the
re-organization of the layout of Sage broke so many optional spkg's.
In case people run into similar problems, here's what I'm doing to
workaround this mess for sage-6.2 in SageMathCloud.

1. These databases are broken:

cunningham_tables
database_jones_numfield
database_kohel
database_odlyzko_zeta
database_sloane_oeis
database_stein_watkins_mini.p0

One workaround is to do this:

     # in SAGE_ROOT
     ln -s local/share data

but the SAGE_DATA variable is gone as well... so you have to add this
*BACK* to src/bin/sage-env (after SAGE_SHARE):

        # this is to be compatible with optional packages that haven't
        # been updated to not use SAGE_DATA
        export SAGE_DATA="$SAGE_SHARE"

(Hopefully, this can be added back or the packages fixed for sage-6.3.)

2. Another broken package is

      p_group_cohomology

which doesn't build:

     pGroupCohomology/resolution.pxd:21:0: 'interrupt.pxi' not found

I don't know a fix.

3. There's an optional package called pybtex which doesn't work.

The package TOPCOM-0.17.4 fails to build:

    ./spkg-install: line 11: cd:
/usr/local/sage/sage-6.1/spkg/standard/: No such file or directory

I don't know a fix.

This is all on Ubuntu 12.04 with pretty much anything imaginable installed.

Trac http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/14962 is supposed to be about
packages broken by the git reorganization, but it's closed.
