As a CoApp consumer (sys admin in your user story) – do you have a requirement to build with a specific version of VS, even if it differs from what a project was originally intended to be built with?
If I would be a user or sysadmin I would hate to build with a VS(200X,20XX), its a huge thing to compile/build my applications, :S. 2010/5/6 Trent Nelson <tr...@snakebite.org> > Daniel, > > > > Out of interest, why do you stipulate that you want VC9 builds? > > > > With Python, for example, the version of Visual Studio we build with is > fixed for each major version (2.x/3.x). 2.5.x uses VS2005, 2.6.x uses 2008, > etc. One of the reasons we do this is because it allows packages and > libraries to all build and test against a common version (even if it’s not > the most recent version of VS; later 2.5.x releases of Python were still > being built with VS2005, even though VS2008 had been readily available for > over a year). > > > > As a CoApp consumer (sys admin in your user story) – do you have a > requirement to build with a specific version of VS, even if it differs from > what a project was originally intended to be built with? > > > > And to the CoApp developers: do we want to provide users with the ability > to compile these open source projects from scratch using whatever version > compiler tool chain they want?
