Just trying to see what's the status of the python26 package in EPEL5. It doesn't appear to have been updated for a while:
* Wed Nov 07 2012 Jeffrey Ness jeffrey.ness@rackspace.com - 2.6.8-2 - Patch 121 forces sys.platform to linux2 related to issue http://bugs.python.org/issue12326
python 2.6.9 was released but not updated - https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/
Upstream has declared it dead, although it is in RHEL6 and so presumably receives attention from RedHat there.
There are several open CVE bugs against it. Time to retire or try to sync to the RHEL6 package?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGN...
- Orion
PS - I started looking into this to see if it is worth trying to create a python26-django14 package for EL5 to support cobbler-web.

As far as I concern, Django-1.4 will be supported until March 2015[1].
But I must admit, I haven't touched any EL5 since ages. There is no Django package in EPEL5 and I don't have the intention to change that. On the other side, it should be pretty straightforward to get a build.

I'm sorry about the lack of attention from me on this package; I'm deeply involved in GCC upstream right now, and don't have time to work on it. Sorry.
I also don't use it; for recent python on RHEL 5 I now prefer the RH Software Collections [1].
I've orphaned the EPEL5 branch within the pkgdb.
