Since it is a recurring point of confusion I'll move all the old-style spkgs so they will not be found automatically. You can still manually install them if you specify the precise location of the archive folder. Really, nobody wants to install ancient Sage packages.
Harald: The current achive section on the web page refers to http://old.files.sagemath.org/spkg/archive/, so I guess I should make a new /data/files/spkg/archive directory on the file server? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
