As upstream Python 2.6 RM, I can tell you that there will be exactly one more[1] 2.6 release: 2.6.9. This will be the final security release for that version and I plan on doing it in October, as stated in PEP 361. Then, thank Guido, I will finally be able to close that branch. :) -Barry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
