Hi folks. Our scons scripts currently require (through a programmatic check) that you're using at least version 0.98.1. Since scons is now up to version 4.0, this version is ancient and so we effectively don't have a minimum.
Because scons adds features, fixes bugs, etc, over time, it would be helpful to have a more specific range of versions to target so that we have a better idea what API we're writing against. For example, there are two workarounds in our scons setup right now, one for a bug which I believe was fixed in version 3.0, and one we can avoid needing using a feature added in version 2.5. I did a *tiny* bit of research, and I see that, at least as far as I can tell, The current Ubuntu LTS uses scons version 3.0. Would making this a minimum cause anyone any problems? That would let us remove both of the workarounds mentioned above, and doesn't seem like it would be so new that people might not have it. We'd probably want to ask on the user list too just to be safe, but the dev list seems like a good place to start. Gabe
