Hi List,
Am trying to have python2.4 runtime only on Debian Sid, The Debian's default Python version is currently v2.3.
Well, this is my current method. Perhaps someone may come up with a better one.
(Cleaned up old python all old run-times & keep only 2.4) $ apt-get install python2.4
(create the default symbolic link ) $ ln -s /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python
(checking default python version) $ python -V Python 2.4.2
(build dummy equivs package)
$ equivs-control python
(edit the python control file)
$ cat python Section: misc Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.5.10
Package: python Version: 2.3.5-5-1 Maintainer: Arky arky@gnu.org.in Architecture: all Description: Arky's Dummy equivs package for python
(build package) $ equivs-build python
(install the dummy package) $ dpkg -i python_2.3.5-5-1_all.deb
Please kindly correct and suggest better solution.
Cheers
