Re: [gentoo-releng] python-2.3.3 for 2004.1

[Benjamin Judas]

Hi Folks,

I tried to build stages for x86 including Python.2.3.3 on the AMD64
releng box, but - as Alastair already stated - they weren't properly
built. Also I am worrying about updating another system-critical
package, since this would include another set of test-stages and ~3 days
for testing. This would delay the release for x86 (was "end of January")
since we also need excessive testing of the live-cd's for x86. 

I personally don't would have a problem including another package and do
some testing, since this can only improve the quality of this release -
but this would also mean, that the x86-release for 2004.0 *might*
possibly be delayed.

At this point I am requesting your opinions, please :)

Regards,
  Benjamin "beejay" Judas
