OK sure, it would be a second version. I'm just saying that I'd bear the maintenance burden for it on the Ubuntu side until you were OK with dropping RHEL 5. At which point we can go back down to one version. Oh and one thing that may be confusing. When I said 2.6+ and 3.2+, I meant with the same code base. So we'd probably have some small script that distributors/installers could use that changed the /usr/bin/python at the top of any Python scripts to /usr/bin/pythonX.X, for whatever version that distributor wanted to use (RHEL would set to 2.6, Ubuntu would set to 3.2). So we'd really just be shipping 2.6+ code that happened to also work on 3.2+. If that's clear. And I wouldn't worry about ASAP. There's no super urgency here unless you want a good stretch of testing time. But since the patch won't be upstream for a bit, the testing will likely just happen for Ubuntu users during the next development cycle. Plus, Barry is making noise about getting Python 2 off the CD for 12.10, but at UDS, the scope of the work may cause him to push that goal back a cycle. So actual deadline for me here is still uncertain. -mt _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
