If pocketlint packages the newer version of fulljslint but uses a different JS engine, I'm all in favor of it. I wouldn't mind ditching our lint version in favour of pocketlint altogether. If I recall correctly, the only differences were in some doctest lint. Since py unittest are now the preferred way of writing unit tests, I doubt anybody would care about these difference. And if they do, they should just patch pocketlint ;-) > Old packages: > > I have python-subunit pinned, The current version cannot be installed. > This looks like a python2.7 issue.

I think there is already a PPA available with 2.7 for Lucid. We still haven't scheduled the ugprade yet though. -- Francis J. Lacoste francis.laco...@canonical.com
