yes, that's the intention. > > Concerning python2.5, it's not enabled yet because it's not expected to > > be the default version in etch, but I suppose it could be now that it > > is officially released and in sync in etch. > > In my opinion, shipping etch with python2.5 (even as non default) and no > extension module compiled for python2.5 is a bit strange. you can explicitely add support for 2.5 in the package, i.e. PYVERSIONS = $(sort $(shell pyversions -vr) 2.5) The reason I didn't add this by default would be random breakage for all extensions which don't build/work for 2.5, which doesn't seem appropriate at this point of the release schedule. If we want to enable 2.5 by default, then somebody needs to test-build the archive with 2.5 as supported version and disable it for all packages explicitely which don't support 2.5, i.e. PYVERSIONS = $(filter-out 2.5, $(shell pyversions -vr)) > > > Any package building C extension modules rebuilt with the current setup > > > will only compile the C extension for python2.4, which is not what we > > > want. > > > > I think it is. :) > > I'd like real python2.5 support in etch... > > /me goes to reupload python-psyco without python2.3 support. shouldn't be necessary, binNMU should do it.
