[Twisted-Python] 2.3 and an unstable chroot

Dear root@pyramid, Python2.3's problems with distutils are fixed, so I would like to turn Python2.3 support on for Twisted 0.99.1. We have two options: 1. I can build in the unstable chroot on moshez.org: that will mean wasted upload and download time. 2. We can create an ssh-able unstable chroot on pyramid. Here are the steps to do so: 1. Pick a directory 2. Run debootstrap *woody* 3. Enter the chroot, change apt/sources.list to point to sid and dist-upgrade 4. Install ssh, and configure it to be a server 5. Copy /etc/passwd from outside to the chroot 6. Run a script to make home directories and chown them 7. Copy the $CHROOT/etc/init.d/ssh to /etc/init.d/ssh-chroot 8. Modify /etc/init.d/ssh-chroot so that all commands look at files in the chroot, and such that start-stop-server runs the command "chroot" with the argument "sshd" (man start-stop-server for that) Thanks.
