according to upstream, zope 2.6 (default zope version in debian) should best be run with python 2.1. python 2.2 is already depreciated. as zope (2.6.4-1.8) already runs with python 2.2, at least this version has to be kept in unstable as long as zope 2.6 is supported in debian. i asked about this recently on the pkg-zope-developers list. someone claimed that providing a smooth upgrade from zope 2.6 to 2.7 would be good, and maybe that implies that zope 2.6 will stay in the archive for some more time. bye jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
