Hi Jonathan,

I have been trying to make a compatibility Python 2.4 package for Fedora 7. I have based it on the Python 2.4 package for Fedora Core 6, but have removed certain parts of the SPEC file since the python-2.4 FC6 SRPM was not building as it is on a Fedora 7 test 4 system. I am new to packaging and it is taking me some time to learn the tricks of the trade and figure exactly which portions of the older package need to be modified to fix the building problems.

For the time being you can have a look at the SPEC file and the SRPM at the following links: http://glug-nith.org/~rishi/download/src/compat-python.spec http://glug-nith.org/~rishi/download/src/compat-python-2.4.4-1.fc7.src.rpm

Hope you find it useful.

Happy hacking, Debarshi
