Only a little ;-) I would rename (define-public python to (define-public python-2 and add (define-public python for python version 3 (compare libjpeg for version 9 and libjpeg-8). Then all packages relying on python will be recompiled with the newest version. If this poses problems, we could modify the input to python-2. Rationale: We would like to package the newest versions and give their variables the default names. If for compatibility problems, we need an older version, the corresponding variable should get a suffix. (While the NAME field of a package should be the default name in all cases.) Andreas
