Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
It is instructive that ArchLinux quietly and professionally packaged mpdecimal-2.5.0 hours after the release: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=mpdecimal&maintainer=&flagged= This is in stark contrast with Python-dev, where a maintainer of an *experimental* *nightly* Ubuntu package that abuses --with-system-libmpdec claimed that "Ubuntu builds are broken". And a release manager who has no libmpdec expertise or authority took the side of the "bug" reporter without much thought. I presume that ArchLinux still follows the "shut up and hack" philosophy. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40874> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
