SuSE runs a build service for free and support automatic rebuild of packages from sources:
https://build.opensuse.org For anyone interested you can find the lates svn python snapshot under: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cavallo71:/python-opt/ Each subdirectory (CentOS_5, RHEL_5 etc) contains a yum repository to download the packages opt-python-XXXX These python packages install under their own separate directory tree (/opt/opt-python-2.7a0 is the latest snapshot). In order to use one of them all it is needed is: $> . /opt/opt-python-2.7a0/opt-python-env.sh $> python Python 2.7a0 (trunk, Apr 20 2009, 12:45:44) [GCC 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036]] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os; print os.__file__ /opt/opt-python-2.7a0/lib/python2.7/os.pyc I hope this helps in testing, Regards, Antonio On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 10:30 AM, Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 11:17 AM, David Lyon <david.l...@preisshare.net> > wrote: >>> But it's quite a work... >> >> I think it is very important to put this software infrastructure into >> place. >> >> or at least include it in some sort of plan going forward.... >> >> have the server farm report build bugs back to the maintainers... >> >> I am prepared to assist with this... and perphaps cover some of the costs. >> >> Amazon web services provide the very same virtual machines that you are >> describing at extremely low cost.
