Are you sure that the AIX README is outdated ? It explains some of the details of why there are scripts like ld_so_aix which are still needed on AIX. > python/branches/py3k/Misc/README.OpenBSD Same here. Does OpenBSD 4.x still have the issues mentioned in the file. > python/branches/py3k/Misc/cheatsheet Wouldn't it be better to update this useful file (as part of your PSF grant) ? Most of it still applies to Py3. Regarding some other things you removed or moved: > D SVN-Python3/Misc/maintainers.rst > D SVN-Python3/Misc/developers.txt Why were these removed from the source archive ? They are useful to have around for users wanting to report bugs and are useful to follow the development of the core team between different Python versions. > D SVN-Python3/Misc/python-mode.el Why is this gone ? It's a useful file for Emacs users and usually more recent than what you get with your Emacs installation. > D SVN-Python3/Misc/AIX-NOTES I guess this was renamed to README.AIX before you removed it. See above. > D SVN-Python3/Misc/PURIFY.README Why is this outdated ? Should probably be renamed to README.Purify. > D SVN-Python3/Misc/RFD That's a piece of Python history. These nuggets should stay in the Python source archive, IMHO. > D SVN-Python3/Misc/setuid-prog.c This is useful for people writing setuid programs in Python and avoids many of the usual pitfalls: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-April/620658.html -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 20 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
