Lino, I started using Debian because I love to see a long list of packages with new upstream releases available on my hard drive every single morning. Not just 100 best known applications but every niche app./library I use. I know they are prepared by either upstream authors or people who simply use it and care about new features, not just versions. I'm not afraid to safe-upgrade them. Now that you know I'm new upstream version freak, you might understand why I'm so unhappy that Debian had 2.6 in the list of supported Python versions 1 year after Ubuntu although there was no technical reason I know of to start working on supporting 2.6 on March 2009. It hurts even more when you see how Ubuntu fails to support it and Ubuntu developers tell you that Debian developers cannot do transitions because they're slow. Why am I mentioning Ubuntu at all? Because all decisions about Python in Debian are made there. Do you still want me to answer your questions or is it clear already why I am acting as an asshole? -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645
