I'm ok with that. The oldest Ubuntu LTS (8.04 Hardy, supported until April 2013) has python-2.5.2, after which the oldest (10.04 Lucid) will have python-2.6.5 until April 2015. The oldest supported Debian release (lenny) has 2.5.2, and current (squeeze) has 2.6.6 . Previous OS-X (10.6 Snow Leopard) has 2.6.1, and 10.7 Lion reportedly has 2.7.1 . I'm guessing other OSes are following roughly the same schedule. In practical terms, does this mean we should just shut down the CentOS5 buildslave? > If anybody is dying to use Tahoe-LAFS v1.9 with Python 2.4, speak up > now! Yeah! Unless there's a sudden clamor of support for py2.4, I'm dropping it from 1.9. There are a handful of things we can improve once we've properly abandoned py2.4, but of course those will wait until after 1.9. > Possible long-term solution: replace the place where Twisted depends > on PyCrypto with a dependency on something else I'd also like to consider moving SFTP to a plugin (which first entails creating a plugin system). I'd like to hear folks opinions, but I've got the general feeling that SFTP is used relatively rarely, compared to the webapi. cheers, -Brian _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
