Yes, Python 2.4 and 2.5 should work fine. > I have now been playing a bit with tmda-1.1.12/contrib/tmda.spec. > Appended is a possible way to generalize the python version > definitions.

It's probably best for the spec to require a version of a package rather than a specific path. I checked the TMDA binaries and they just need "python" in the path, not "python2.3", so your change should be fine. I figure the package name "python" is standard enough for that to be reliable cross-distribution. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([email protected]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
