I mean, we spent time last spring updating our packages to use the new Python policy, write nice loops in debian/rules to build for all versions specified by `pyversions -r -v`. Now we would need to tweak the Makefile again and clutter it with a hardcoded "2.5" in the list even though this version is requested debian/control (or in some other place if you chose the other way without XS-Python-Version). I have to admit that I am a bit disapointed by this, to say the least. Why are we shipping python2.5 in etch if we don't ship the python extension modules people expect to find (PIL, mx.DateTime, Numeric...) <sigh> -- Alexandre Fayolle LOGILAB, Paris (France) Formations Python, Zope, Plone, Debian: http://www.logilab.fr/formations Développement logiciel sur mesure: http://www.logilab.fr/services Informatique scientifique: http://www.logilab.fr/science Reprise et maintenance de sites CPS: http://www.migration-cms.com/
