There were two significant problems in the first round of the packages I announced yesterday, therefore an silent update: Again,
http://www.debian.org/~flight/python/ or deb http://www.debian.org/~flight/python ./ First, I have removed the superfluous idle.1 man pages from all other packages. Then, a few packages were i386 although they really are architecture: all. If I don't get any negative feedback, these packages will make their way in potato early next week. To the package maintainers: Please be prepared to remove any dependencies on python-misc or python-net (or python-curses or python-bsddb), as they will be removed in the next release. Instead make the packages depend on python-base. Future directions: Once this has been established, I'm heading to split python-base into a binary package (python, python-base ?) and a library package (python-lib). Also, I tend to split python-lib in a small package with essentials (python-base ?), so that we have a small, minimal Python system (heading to move Python into base ;-)). Then, we are prepared for a jpython package, with dependencies on python-lib. As you see, this is not yet decided upon. Gregor
