26 Jorge's "revert" fixed the overall issue that I mentioned and the
27 issues that Paweł and Dale are referring to in the very recent
28 troubleshooting mediums. I may be mixing up some of the bug numbers, but
29 it is hard to keep track of all the python3/stage3 issues. So, at least
30 the week of 20101228 stage3's had python3 set as default python and the
31 week of 20110106 stage3's had python2.6 again, based on my personal
32 testing.

34 15:06 <@darkside_> jmbsvicetto: mr releng. :) the 20101228 i{4,6}86
35 stages have python-3.1 set as the default system python. is this
36 intended?
37 15:07 < jmbsvicetto> darkside_: no :\
38 15:08 < jmbsvicetto> darkside_: and that would explain some of the
39 recent mails
40 15:08 < jmbsvicetto> darkside_: I'll do more tests tonight to see if we
41 can fix that
42 <... some days elapsed>
43 13:50 < jmbsvicetto> darkside_: python-2.6.6-r1 hadn't been reverted.
44 Now that it is, stage3 shouldn't have python-3.1 as default
