- Subject: When to release a threaded Cygwin Python?
I would like to release a threaded Cygwin Python. However, I would like
to avoid another fiasco like my last PostgreSQL release... :,)
Here's the deal. Although a threaded Cygwin Python runs just fine under
Cygwin 1.3.10, one cannot build one themselves without the following
patch to sys/features.h:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2002/msg00122.html
So, should I hold off releasing a new Python until 1.3.11? Or, is it
OK to release one now with the appropriate build caveat documented in
the README?
Thanks,
Jason
