Comment(by fbissey):
Didn't take long. I have been naughty and committed two changes to patches
that needed touching after my first commit of python-2.7.1 so the log will
show 3 entries for just the one SPKG.txt entry. They were minor changes.
I dropped a number of patches because they were applied upstream. However
in the case of two patches I dropped them because the upstream has changed
in a way they don't apply anymore but I don't know if patching is still
necessary for the underlying issues. If so new patches will need to be
developed. The issues are
* readline on itanium
* multiprocessing on solaris
As promised I will give a patch order. The next to last one needs updating
as stated earlier and the last one is really optional. The patches do not
have to be taken n that order as they don't overlap.
