But what are you actually going to -do-? If I recall correctly, you've said on IRC that you aren't or don't want to be a coder (correct me if I'm wrong), and a previous attempt on your part to become a developer left NM with the question of what you intended to do crossed with what you had the ski

), but it won't ever achieve Debian's > stability. (small point on kde 3.1 final existing before announcement disposed of: it won't be "final" until it's "announced". by definition. also, there may be current reasons why the announcement has not been made.) Yes, that's exactly right. But debian's build system has never failed to work for me, and it has in every other dist I ever ran (which was mostly SLS, early slackware and redhat). So, I contend here with you because there's nothing wrong with debian's build system. In fact, the build depends introduced in woody probably make debian a better choice. Here, you have a -build- system that enjoys debian's stability. That's not easy to beat... > -Mark -Jim

.1 as default. That cannot be undone, it is released, and at the time the decision was made, 2.2 was way too close to the cutting edge for comfort. Moreover, we would not recommend that the target audience of Python-in-a-Tie run sid. Sid breaks things occasionally, sometimes badly. Sid tortures small defenseless things for a hobby! 2.2 is available in woody already. Invoke it using /usr/bin/python2.2. BTW: is the PIAT consortium going to offer any DSFG free software? Jim Penny
