Tests came out fine for me. A bunch skipped, but no errors. > I suppose each package will need to be evaluated and updated as it > is deemed to be safe. Are we ready to update Python? I say yes. I'd much rather get the version in the book and have a lot of people expose it to the elements than hope that you can stress it against all the possible Python apps out there. One thing. Jürg has a patch in Paldo that would affect how external Python modules using distutils (i.e., setup.py) are built. http://www.paldo.org/paldo/sources/Python/Python-2.5-build-fix-1.patch.bz2 I'm not sure what it's for. I just browsed through the Python svn to see if this was applied and found there was a checkin to the same spot the other day with a bug about using --enable-shared. I don't know if they're related. http://svn.python.org/view/python/branches/release25-maint/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py?rev=53692&r1=52909&r2=53692 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1600860&group_id=5470&atid=105470 -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
