I would like to apply this patch (or its moral equivalent) to all active,
affected branches of Python, meaning 2.5 through 2.7, and 3.1 through 3.3, as
soon as possible. Without this, it will be very difficult for anyone on
future Ubuntu or Debian releases to build Python. Since it's not a new
feature, but just a minor fix to the build process, I think it should be okay
to back port.
If I understand the policy correctly, 2.5 and 2.6 are not considered
active branches, so any doc, build or bug fixes are not acceptable.
I wouldn't say doc fixes are not acceptable, but they are rather pointless
since there won't be any more online docs or released docs for those versions.
In the case that docs are wrong for unmaintained (but still used)
versions of Python, is there any reason other than policy not to fix and
update online docs?
All the best,
