Here's a page from the Developers' Guide: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html An spkg is just a compressed file, where the compression uses tar and then bzip2. Say you have a directory called glpk-4.38 that contains the source of glpk in glpk-4.38/src and the whole directory glpk-4.38 follows the guidelines at http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html You can then do this: tar -jcf glpk-4.38.spkg glpk-4.38 which should give you the package glpk-4.38.spkg.
