What do people think of the idea of adding specific distros (e.g. "Linux (Fedora/RHEL)", "Linux (Ubuntu)") to the "Platforms" table for cases related to building and packaging where it may not be clear if the problem lies within CPython or within the distro?
Definitely a good idea. How about even putting a link to the upstream packaging repository (if available) like: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=python.git
so others can easily inspect what patches the distro is using.
That's probably not the right place to put the link. Hmm, maybe there should be a page on the wiki with information about the state of python in the various linux distributions. E.g. what version is in each distro version, the maintainer, a link to the downstream repo/patches, etc.
