Awesome!!    Now Mandriva will have the most up to date proper
packaging of Sage for any Linux distro.   Debian also has Sage, but it
is a bit out of date right now.

May I ask roughly how much work this was?  Are there changes that we
should make to our spkg's to make things easier for you?

When in doubt feel free to post the tests here for comment.
