I realise that, I just wanted to make sure there were no special plans to hold it back from testing. > That's the price we have to be able use /usr/bin/python, not the > versioned binary :-( This is also the benefit... it can't go into testing until it's ready. I think it would be possible for an updated python to drop into testing with a handful of python-<foo> packages holding them back... just file an RC bug against them saying they need to be upgraded, they vanish from testing, and the updated stuff drops in. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ----------------------------------------------------------------------
