Err. Well, "not always". Yesterday Dima converted a .spkg to new-style, but that package did not include a SPKG.txt file (so no official maintainer either). And the 'graphs' package contains my name, though without email. This, to say that we probably can't assume that the current data exists. > Then, > if an error occurs during installation, for whatever reason, the error > message could clearly state: "Please contact f...@bar.com about the > problem."

I do not have your faith that *all* of the guys who appear as maintainers of a package would, when receiving such a bug report, immediately fix it or make sure that it will not be forgotten. Asking people to write to sage-devel sounds safer to me. Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
