http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8431 now tracks the issue. I've started by putting appropriately patched versions of python and numpy into joyride, so you can experiment with -OO on a joyride image without having to worry about these particular bugs. I've confirmed that python 2.5.2 and numpy 1.2.0 already have/will have the relevant patches, so we probably won't need the fork by our next major release. --scott p.s. does anyone know why fedora isn't using python 2.5.2 yet? It was released in February '08; I'm surprised that it's not in F9 or F10. -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
