During my time as a maintainer for sage, it does built everything into
/tmp/SBo/sage-xx and then during installation, it would move everything
from /tmp/SBo to /op/sage because the script in doinst.sh will do so.
I have tested the installation and it worked fine.

I don't know about 8.1 because i haven't tried it yet
