[Dev] Python 2.4 and PyLucene/gcj updates scheduled for Tuesday next week

[Heikki Toivonen]

Since I did not receive any "don't update" messages, we are going to go 
ahead with the python/pylucene/gcj updates. The update is scheduled for 
Tuesday next week.

This is going to be a major change - in addition to new python, most 
external and internal packages will be recompiled and packaged, and the 
required gcj version number will be bumped up. On Windows, Mac and now 
FC2 make compilers will fetch you prebuilt compilers. On other Linux 
flavors you may need to make sure that you install the latest gcj - at 
least on Debian (unstable) there seems to be a suitable gcj available.

We have some serious regression bugs in our tree, for example 
Chandler/system freeze on Linux and I would advice you to fix those 
regressions by next Tuesday.

If you want us to delay this update for any reason, please let me know asap.
