[Bug 788525] Re: updating to python2.6.7 in lucid and updating

[Matthias Klose]

no, it is not necessary to check the stuff mentioned in #1, because
there already is an updated package in oneiric. what needs to be done is
to check the changes gone into 2.6.6 and 2.6.7, if these are only
regressions fixes, or fixes which do not affect ubuntu (unsupported
architectures).

Title:
  updating to python2.6.7 in lucid and updating

Status in “python2.6” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python2.6

  (started discussion about this kind of update with Barry and Martin)

  the python2.6 branch has a lot of bug fixes not present in the lucid
  python2.6 packages; it would be worth updating the python2.6 package
  to the 2.6.6 (or the 2.6.7) release. what would need to happen?

   - review changes in the python2.6 branch, these should only be bug fixes (barry)
   - backport the py_compileall / pycompile changes, needed for dh_python2 backport (doko)
   - review locally applied bug fixes during the maverick and natty release cycle (doko)

  the backport of dh_python2 is tracked in bug #788524
