There might be a case to move to 10.3, considering the large amount of bug fixes, but in general I think it is a bad idea to require leading edge packages. The reason being that you would like people to be able to rely on packaged version of the different tools to build an test a package. By packaged versions, I mean versions in the repositories of the main linux distributions, and macport and fink. Each time we require something outside a repository, we loose testers.
Fair enough; does anybody have any idea which version of nose is generally available from distributions like the ones you mentioned?
Ubuntu hardy (current): 10.0 (http://packages.ubuntu.com) Ubuntu intrepid (next): 10.3 (http://packages.ubuntu.com) Debian unstable: 10.3 (http://packages.dbian.com) Fedora 8: 10.0 (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/) For the rest I can't figure out how to get the information. I suspect we can standardise on things around six month old. Debian unstable tracks closely upstream, Ubuntu and Fedora have a release cycle of 6 months, I don't know about SUSE, but I think it is similar, and macports, fink, or Gentoo trac closely upstream.
