Hi, I'm trying to open the flint spkg from the recent sage. As per the instructions I typed:
tar jxvf flint-1.3.0.p1.spkg on sage.math, but it complained: bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors I still don't understand why the libraries have to be in this spkg format. Surely it makes more sense for an open source project to have *all* code accessible easily, i.e. in source form, not packed into tar.?? files. Does anyone else feel the same way about this issue? Is there a technical reason for using a non-standard spkg format instead of having the source trees accessible from within the sage source tree?
