Reading this thread only now... Interesting findings. I confirm I can see the problem with Python-2.6 but not with Python-2.7. Hence the first option: - What about compiling /opt/python-2.7 on your CentOS servers? This can take care of all `hidden' similar GC-related issues in a natural way.
Given that many major Linux _server_ distributions are still on 2.6 (one might argue "for a reason"), it would be better to solve the issues for 2.6 instead of moving up the requirements, IMHO. I admit that for a productive server I don't really like to compile any of the requirements myself as it involves tracking all sec and bug issues for all those packages in detail by hand and with the compiler as well. To avoid this is surely one of the main reason to run a server distribution and not Debian unstable. Personally, I even do not like base requirements beyond what Debian _stable_ delivers. This is not my personal preference for Debian speaking, but more the observation that one can assume that almost any other decent Linux server distribution will meet these as well. This eases up adoption of a product by new users a lot, ie. <geek mode="off"> Would you start compiling n libs and stuff that come at to low a version with your distribution packages to just check out if a certain product does what you want and is to your liking or wouldn't you just check those products first that are only an aptitue install away? </geek> ym2c -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : [email protected] phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
