Hi Steve, are you still maintaining amaya ? The package is very much out of date (3.2.1-1 is in sid, while upstream is now at 4.2.1, which has significant improvements). The BTS lists three bugs reports regarding new upstream versions, and you didn't even reply to any of them. db.debian.org li

Python 1.6 was released finally today (for an announcement, see http://www.python.org/1.6/), and it was released under the discussed CNRI license. This license was intended to be compatible with the GPL, but RMS says he thinks it's not (cf. the announcement). Moments later, Guido and BeOpen's Pyt
