Just a couple of observations on this upgrade:
1. Python 2.7.9 now does strict SSL certificate checking as per
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0476/ and as a result I had at least
one package break due to:
[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)
I managed to fix that issue by switching the source URL from https:// to
http:// Although this change in behaviour is desirable in the grand
scheme of things, it is likely to cause some pains along the way.
2. python-imaging build just locks up for me. I don't know what's wrong.
I tried an strace but all I can see is a python process waiting on a futex.
I think it may be a good idea to keep python 2.7.3 packages in oe-core
because a move from 2.7.3 to 2.7.9 is likely to break some systems. At
least in terms of item 1, we have a large potential for breakage, since
the SSL cert checking will break anything that uses self-signed SSL
certs for HTTPS without deploying the correct CA to the client systems.
As far as I can tell, there is no system wide override for this behaviour.
