Changes:
python (1.5.2-6) unstable; urgency=low
.
* IMPORTANT NOTE:
.
If you're upgrading manually using dpkg, please first run
.
dpkg -r python-misc python-net
.
to remove those obsolete packages. If you have installed packages
with (broken) dependencies to python-misc or python-net, you may
have to remove them first (e.g. linbot, cf. #41345). dpkg seems to be
uncapable to remove two obsolete packages ot once. apt and hopefully
dselect should work fine, though.
.
* Package elimination, second step: python-misc and python-net have
been removed, as I have announced in 1.5.2-4.
.
* IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MAINTAINERS OF PYTHON MODULES:
.
Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> pointed out that Python violates
the Debian Policy, since it used -fpic to compile extension modules.
This revision changes /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in
to use -fPIC instead, which is a difference from the upstream.
.
If you're the maintainer of a package with binary Python modules,
please check if the module was compiled with -fPIC. If not, recompile
the package with python-dev (>=1.5.2-6) installed. If your package
doesn't use /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in, make sure
the its own Makefiles are using -fPIC.
.
* configure.in: Debian policy mandates to use CCSHARED=-fPIC
(closes: Bug#43934: python: pythons makesetup gives -fpic as option).
* Uses symlinks in accordance with tech ctte. decision, as implemented
by debhelper 2.0.40.
* Therefore better FHS compliance; upgraded to Standards-Version 3.0.1.1.
Strictly spoken, Python is not yet FHS compliant, since a lot
architecture-independent things are installed in /usr/lib instead
of /usr/share.
