Dear Andrea, A quick note about python dependencies:

Maybe a line like > "builds only against python2.6 due to unresolved issues with python2.7" is > better? python 2.6 will be removed from unstable "as soon as we can after 2.7 is default" (in the words of one of the python maintainers). This is likely to be done on the "few weeks" timescale rather than "few months" (although these sorts of python transitions do have a habit of taking a bit longer than everyone plans). Adding another thing that requires python 2.6 won't help this process; it might not necessarily hinder it either, but then you'd get an RC- buggy package straight away. Perhaps spending the time to work out what's wrong with the package under python 2.7 prior to upload would be better. The guys in #debian-python on irc.oftc.net (irc.debian.org) don't bite :) cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott -- www.nanonanonano.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
