You think it's better to force users to a specific version... I thought MOST
of the packages were in two binary versions (2.3 and 2.4) with one dummy
package dependant on the default. It seems you don't like peple who'd like to
make their own packages do you?
I don't mean it bad... I already switched to setup.py installation instead of
apt so I can use python2.4 now. I'm just trying to make things better for
other users.
