A. Thanks.  I'll upgrade immediately, will grab the svn.

Do you have any need to provide .debs of spyce?  The reason I'm asking
is that I am using it on Ubuntu, and have added stuff to do the
packaging as a .deb.  My packages are by no means correct in terms of
the-debian-way (I don't have time for that) - they just package what
there is...as a quick hack to make installation convenient for myself.

And since I'm going to have to re-do this upon an upgrade... I might as
well contribute those bits so you can include it.  If you're interested?

How it's done is - I added a setup.py which uses setuptools to make a
spyce egg.  This egg is then packaged in a .deb.  (Of course, the egg is
handy for installation on windows machines too, and with the setup.py
you can easily build rpms too.)

You have to manually run your makefile before building the egg.  And, as
of NOW I'm still not packaging it according to the new debian python
policy.  I'm also only building a .deb for one version of python (2.4).
There may be changes here and there to the makefile - can't remember.
