Agreed. One reason I often don't backport a bug is because I'm not sure if there will be another bugfix release; if not, it's wasted effort, and I wasn't sure if a 2.4.4 release was ever going to happen. After 2.4.4, will there be a 2.4.5 or is that too unlikely? I've done an 'svn log' on the modules I'm familiar with (curses, zlib, gzip) and will look at backporting the results. Grepping for 'backport candidate' in 'svn log -r37910:HEAD' turns up 30-odd checkins that contain the phrase: r51728 r51669 r47171 r47061 r46991 r46882 r46879 r46878 r46602 r46589 r45234 r41842 r41696 r41531 r39767 r39743 r39739 r39650 r39645 r39595 r39594 r39491 r39135 r39044 r39030 r39012 r38932 r38927 r38887 r38826 r38781 r38772 r38745 --amk _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
