Zope 2.12 now requires Python 2.6

2009-11-20 Thread Toni Mueller

Hi,

while I was trying to play with the upcoming Plone 4.0, which is
technically vastly different from earlier releases, I found out that
recent versions, or at least trunk, of Zope 2.12, appears to absolutely
require Python 2.6. Or at least that's the way Andreas Jung, the Zope2
release manager, put it.

I thought that this information should be less hidden than it is right
now...

backporting Python 2.6

2009-11-20 Thread Toni Mueller

Hi,

while trying to backport Python 2.6 to Lenny, I discovered that it
conflicts with python-xml, which is required by several other packages
in conjunction with earlier versions of Python.

I don't understand why this module has to conflict, though, but rather
see this conflict as an artifact of our ways to express dependencies in
Debian packages. If one could arrange for this pacakge to not install
into pyshared, things could be fine, right?

TIA!

2009-11-20 Thread Jonathan Wiltshire
Package: libkml
Version: 1.0.1-3
Severity: important
User: debian-python@lists.debian.org
Usertags: python2.6 ftbfs

Package fails to build from source with python2.6, here's the build log tail:

(debian-python: caution, this package has large build-dependencies and takes a
very long time to build)

Bug#557293: polybori: FTBFS without Python 2.4

2009-11-20 Thread Jonathan Wiltshire
Package: polybori
Version: 0.5~rc1-2
Severity: important
User: debian-python@lists.debian.org
Usertags: python2.6 ftbfs

polybori hardcodes Python version it uses at build time in
python-polybori.install, despite have a build-depends on python-all-dev. This
means that polybori will fail to build once Python 2.4 is removed from the
list of support Python versions.

While you're there, you might also migrate from python-central to
python-support (this is the advice of the debian-python list):
