Hi, sorry for not participating actively to this long thread, i am currently pretty far from computers. Let me just mention that this discussion already appears some time ago, and that somehow, the mailing-list is probably not the appropriate tool for solving such an issue, while the wiki is definitely more appropriate for classifying things, see how big is the work to be accomplished, and eventually getting things done. During a previous similar thread, i opened the following page, which might a good tool if we keep it up-to-date:
http://wiki.sagemath.org/Classify%20old-style%20packages The benefits of such list is that i started with the complete list of (both old-style or new-style) packages, so it is unlikely that we will miss something. As you may see, the list of uncassified packages is not very big, nor is the list of packages that need to be repackaged. At least, they are much less impressive than looking to the raw list of old-style spkgs and discussing on an abstract basis.
