Hi All,

The subversion server at my office is on a CentOS 6 server, and a software 
developer wrote a hook in python for it.  The hook requires python 2.7,
but CentOS 6 only has 2.6.6 (python-2.6.6-36.el6 to be exact).

I grabbed python-2.7.2-5.2.fc16.src.rpm from Fedora 16 and am trying to
roll my own via instructions I found on the CentOS wiki.  All is good
except that it requires db4.8, and that's not out for RHEL6 either.

>From where I stand, it looks like my options are: 1) wait this out until
either Python or a dependency are pushed up, but when is that? 2) rebuild
this package with the deps, but I'm not quite sure how to roll a -devel
package 3) roll my own package from scratch 4) install python 2.7 in an
alternate location and point to it for this script

Since this is a production server, I'd rather no do any hacks on this.
Does anybody know how the release schedule works, or have any other
advice?

Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin

Look at Software Collections. Not sure if they have python2.7 yet though.
