I do software development and deploy on Open Solaris. I'd like to upgrade the default python to python2.6 but I'm leery of doing that because of the package dependencies in vendor-packages (ie, /usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages). These aren't readily transferrable because some of them are linked against the python2.4 version that's installed.
This blog talks about precisely this occurring: http://malsserver.blogspot.com/2009/01/python-25-breaks-opensolaris-menus.html Is there a process which supports this upgrade? That's likely to translate to is there an IPS pkg which will install the vendor-packages for python2.6? Ben. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
