Dear David, It certainly is of interest to me. When I get a little time (maybe this weekend), I'd like to try it. Specifically, I'd like to setup a buildbot that would automatically build and run the test suite with it. Along those lines, is there any reason why it shouldn't work with Ubuntu Hardy amd64 (8.04) and Python 2.5? Or should I try another distro? (I'll be setting up a chroot.) It looks pretty unintrusive to me -- I can't see why it would hurt to include it direct into MPL. -Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
