The 2.3-2.4 transition is a simple analogue of the 2.2-2.3 transition. All of the issues are well known in the debian-python community. What do you feel there is to talk about? A more interesting example would be the C++ ABI transition, in which case this is exactly what we did: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/04/msg00146.html > If you do not agree here with me than I wonder why you are denying that > Ubuntu is a fork (which I did not stated but which would become obvious to > me if you would say that Python transition of Ubuntu is something > different than of Debian). I have no idea what you mean; the standard for Python transitions in Debian has been established for some time now, and Ubuntu follows the same policy. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
