Actually, the script does not support python 2.4 in its current state since it uses subprocess.check_call which was introduced in python 2.5. But, this can be trivially worked around. I made the changes in my own tree on Friday and planned to submit them after using it myself for a few days. Personally, I prefer to continue to provide the ability to compile and install a fully working git on platforms in common use without pulling in additional dependencies. At least while it's fairly easy to do so. So, in my opinion, git-p4 should be patched to support python 2.4 and the comment in INSTALL should be updated. But, this opinion should be taken with the appropriate grain of salt since I'm not really a contributor to any of the python infrastructure. -Brandon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
