Re: Report on the situation of python2.5 in Debian
Le lundi 08 octobre 2007 à 15:59 -0400, Aaron M. Ucko a écrit : The following packages need a round of binNMUs as soon as possible, to build extensions for python2.5, after which they shouldn't bother us. Can anyone schedule the binNMUs please? bitpim Please don't bother with this one; BitPim actually builds its extensions only for whichever Python version is currently default, as they're private and the app needs wxPython anyway. Indeed, these are private extensions; that moves bitpim to the other list. Still, it would be nice to build extensions for all python versions, but the fact they are private makes this process more complicated. -- .''`.

I was actually somewhat more concerned about getting a sane
${python:Depends} setting, but that's definitely also an issue.

This is a laudable goal, but not when done at the expense of proper support of operating systems which have one. Indeed.
