This is a repost from a posting I sent last August. One of the issues (the hg-eol extension) is largely resolved, so I'm only asking for help on the other issue.
In this thread, I'd like to collect things that ought to be done but where Dirkjan has indicated that he would prefer if somebody else did it. Item 1 ------ The first item is build identification. If you want to work on this, please either provide a patch (for trunk and/or py3k), or (if you are a committer) create a subversion branch. It seems that Barry and I agree that for the maintenance branches, sys.subversion should be frozen, so we need actually two sets of patches: one that removes sys.subversion entirely, and the other that freezes the branch to the respective one, and freezes the subversion revision to None. The patch should consider what Dirkjan proposes as the branching strategy: clones to separate 2.x and 3.x, as well as for features, and branches with the clones for releases and maintenance (see the PEP for details). Anybody working on this should have good knowledge of the Python source code, Mercurial, and either autoconf or Visual Studio (preferably both).
