I'm severely ham-strung at the moment since my build box died and I haven't resurrected a new one yet. Charlie has been doing the win32 builds and may be able to do them for this release. That's the hard part. Other than that, the main thing that needs to be done is to get a fresh svn co and build, run backend_driver and memleak_hawaii and make sure everything looks OK. If you can do that Eric, and Charlie can do the win32 build, I'm all for it. I just googled ubuntu matplotlib and got a page pointing to the old debian 0.82 version. I know that is the main debian package people are using but is it also the most recent ubuntu version. If so, just getting them onto 0.87.7 would be a major advance. I thought ubuntu was better about keeping up with current releases. JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
