I guess it might have been a good idea, but since it didn't catch on, perhaps it was too complicated. Build-time tests are run, well, at build-time. Nothing prevents you from build-depending on every pythonX.Y you wish and doing every test that might please you, regardless of whether you are using python-central. Also, python-central was not complicated. For version 0.3 (0.4 was released later but I didn't install it): % wc -l /usr/sbin/register-python-package 182 /usr/sbin/register-python-package It is a simple shell script. -- Florent
