The problem with Python (interpreters packages) is the maintainer, that's force us in his one-man-show and, as you can see, it's failing loudly. Matthias is holding back the release and his not willing to communicate to the project (nor as a whole nor to the small group of people maintaining modules & apps, that keeps asking him about it) his plan or anything at all about these packages. Buy hey, let's close our eyes and pretend he's doing a good job... This (and other) rant are a signal we should create a TEAM around any fundamental packages in Debian, and python MUST NOT be and exception. Am I the only one (together with Angus, I'd say) believing python deserves a better maintainership than the one it currently has? -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
