Even after the talk, I have no idea of what python-central exactly does. It is supposed to help us in building the new policy, but I don't know how exactly. In short, the main decision has been to drop entirely python2.x-foo packages. They will, however, be provided as virtual packages, but only if something actually needs them. For python-only modules, it has been decided to use python-support. The python modules team already knows it and won't have anything to change in such packages. The necessary code for dh_python will be back soon. For C extensions, it was decided to build them for all available python versions in a single python-foo package. For example, currently we have python2.3 and python2.4. The package would contain /usr/lib/python2.[34]/site-packages/foo.so and depend on "python (>= 2.3), python (<< 2.5)". The python-all-dev package will be used to build this. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette /\./\ : :' : [EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' [EMAIL PROTECTED] `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom
