could you explain me in which part 'current' is helping you here ? I missed to understand what asking for: XS-Python-Version: >= 2.5 would haven't achieved. In fact, what I understand from current, is that it designs python2.4 for now, so how is that accurate for your example ? I mean, try to set: XS-Python-Version: >= 2.5 and please tell me what it changed in the package you built with that. I'm curious. Btw I don't think you answered the question properly, as you didn't explained the think current achieves for you. And honnestly, it's not a trick question, I mean it, what is its purpose for you. I don't see its usefulness, but I may miss a thing :) > BTW: I like rest of your diffs (I don't know much about "Python-Depends" > control field, though) > > PS Is it the right time to think about merging python-{central,support} > or is it to early for that? It's only thinking for now, and I think it's really the moment to think about further plans for lenny obviously. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
