According to http://www.jython.org/downloads.html, the most recent upstream released of Jython is 2.5.1 (there's a 2.5.2 RC2). The most recent version in rawhide is 2.2.1 As I understand it, jython and eclipse-pydev must be updated together, so we shouldn't update jython in released Fedoras. (I may perhaps have some cycles to look at this for the F15 timeframe, if that will help)
Eclipse team will take care of fixing pydev once we have a new jython packaged. But yes pushing jython 2.5.2 into released version will disrupt all people using pydev .
(Summarizing email discussion here in bugzilla so it's not just stuck in my Inbox) Andrew Overholt has created a "jython252rc3" branch of Fedora git, and committed an update of the packaging sources there that bumps jython to 2.5.2rc3 - but "master" is still at 2.2.1, I believe. Quoting Andrew's comment about the branch: > I didn't test it, but it builds. > The main jython JAR is way bigger but I looked at the differences in > content and nothing struck me as being terribly wrong. However we need to wait for the pydev folks before we can push the change into rawhide. Alex also commented via email: > Jython 2.5.x started to bundle/depend on a lot more > packages(shared with jruby) so this package has some more work before it can > go into Fedora just try removing all the jars in the prep section and you will > see all the failures. :)

Eclipse-pydev uses the latest release in F15+ afaics: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=eclipse-pydev.git;a=commit;h=5faa93a7c7220f8613b5e7e579a07711d6f071be And jython 2.5.2 has already become stable.

There is a branch for jython 2.5.2 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=jython.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/jython252rc3. If someone offers me a patch against jython Fedora git repo that updates it to 2.5.2 without using any of the bundled jars I'll do the work to port pydev but I don't have the time for both.
It looks like getting jython 2.5.1 into Fedora should be a lot easier, because it is already in debian. A first analysis showed, that the following jar-files are used in debian, but do not exist in Fedora 15: asm3.jar asm3-commons.jar asm3-util.jar libconstantine-java.jar jna-posix.jar mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar postgresql.jar servlet-api-2.5.jar xercesImpl.jar libconstantine-java.jar might be subsituted by jnr-constants.jar, which is in Fedora. For the other jars, there seems to exist at least similar jar files in Fedora. If jython 2.5.1 would suffice to get eclipse-pydev ported, I will try to create a jython.spec next week.
Well, getting jython 2.5.x in rawhide now(just after branch) will give us ~9 months to get pydev ported - long enough time to find time for it.
