Description Daniel Mach 2010-06-07 13:34:29 UTC

Django 1.2 running on python2.4 & python-hashlib on el5 requires following patch:
http://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/13310?format=diff&new=13310
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13653

I've applied the patch and verified it really works.

Comment 1 Steve Milner 2010-06-07 13:58:27 UTC

Thanks for the patch. I'll verify it works fine on F12+ as well before applying it.

Comment 2 Steve Milner 2010-06-08 17:58:59 UTC

I've applied it and built it locally and it seems to work on Fedora fine. I tried doing a raw hide build but there is some dep issues at the moment (unrelated to the package itself). Once that gets fixed I'll send it back through and make sure it builds.

Comment 3 Steve Milner 2010-06-09 19:11:37 UTC

I've included the patch but 1.2.x will not be released for EPEL-5. I've been reminded that since this release breaks some backwards compatibility it is considered a major release. If you are in need of 1.2.x on EPEL-5 you can rebuild a Fedora package, but be warned that this will break current EPEL-5 Django applications (such as ReviewBoard). I'll leave the patch in for those who do have a need to rebuild.

Thanks again for the bug report!
