> My thoughts on 2.7 were summarised at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.beyond.support/41875
> in early September. Since then, gnome-2.34 has come out. I don't know
if that has improved things, but while the book is still using gnome-2.32,
I think Python-2.7 is a bit too bleeding edge
I think perhaps you have your GNOME versions confused. 2.32 was just
released
on September 29, 2010 and there are no plans for a 2.34 release as 3.0
will
be the next production version of GNOME (http://www.gnome.org/).
Additionally,
the BLFS book is at 2.30.2, not 2.32; however I see the point you are
making.
If we do not move to Python-2.7, then we *must* move to 2.6.6 to fix many
security vulnerabilities. I don't know when we can release a new BLFS, and
the answer to that question is key to everything. I'm going to start a
thread
on -dev about it.
