updating libffi to 3.0.9?
by Matthias Klose 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

I would like to update the internal copy of libffi from the 3.0.5 release to 3.0.9 (plus an ARM specific patch checked in after the 3.0.9 release). Is this ok for the trunk and the py3kbranch? I only can check linux targets and watch the buildds, so I would like to ask for tests on other targets. The libffi subdirectories for testsuite, doc and man are currently not checked in. Should these be kept out, or should the complete libffi release be checked in? Thanks, Matthias

Python 2.6.5 rc 1
by Barry Warsaw 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hello everybody! I hope you all had as great a time at Pycon 2010 as I did. No time to begin recovering though, we're on to Python 2.6.5 rc 1, which I would like to release on Monday. We have one showstopper still open, and I'll try to respond to that asap. http://bugs.python.org/issue7250 If there is anything else that absolutely should go into 2.6.5, now's the time to let me know. If there are no patches ready to be reviewed and landed though, you're probably running out of time. I will be very conservative about landing patches after rc1. Cheers, -Barry

Commit access for David Malcolm
by Jeffrey Yasskin 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi all, David Malcolm is the Fedora maintainer for the Python package and has written a gdb plugin to replace and dramatically improve our old Misc/gdbinit file using the new python scripting support in gdb-7. You can see it in action at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EasierPythonDebugging#User_Experience. I'd like to get this into our repository asap, but he's also going to be improving it fairly quickly. So it'd be nice if he could commit his improvements directly. Do you guys think we should give him commit access so he can make gdb and packaging-related changes? Jeffrey
