I don’t know. Any Debian advanced user wanting to build a package can just run “aptitude build-dep python2.6”. Aptitude has the nice property of asking for a confirmation, so it’s even possible to cherry-pick from the lists of deps (press “e” at the confirmation prompt). E.g., I choose readline but not tk. So it seems to me that the information and the command are already here. _______________________________________________ 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
