(I hope "Build" is more precise than "Extension
Modules" and "Tkinter" for this specific bug.)

At least the following files are missing from 2.5 for
Windows:

DLLs\tix8184.dll
tcl\tix8184.lib
tcl\tix8.1\*

Should we bump the bug up and/or assign it to Neal Norwitz as he requested on Python-Dev?

[loewis]

I haven't read Neal's message yet, but I wonder what he could do about it.

I plan to fix this with 2.5.1, there is absolutely no way to fix this earlier.

I'm not sure who "we" is who would like to bump the bug, and what precisely this bumping would do; tzot, please refrain from changing the priority to higher than 7. These priorities are reserved to the release manager.

[tzot]

Neal's message is this: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-December/070406.html
and it refers to the 2.5.1 release, not prior to it.

As you see, I refrained from both increasing the priority and assigning it to Neal, and actually just added a comment to the case with a related question, since I know you are the one responsible for the windows build and you already had assigned the bug to you. My adding this comment to the bug was nothing more or less than the action that felt appropriate, and still does feel appropriate to me (ie I didn't overstep any limits).

The "we" was just all parties interested, and in this case, the ones I know are at least you (responsible for the windows build) and I (a user of Tix on windows).

Happy new year, Martin!

[loewis]

Ah, ok. No, assigning this report to Neal or bumping its priority should not be done.

[loewis]

It seems that I can provide Tix binaries only for x86, not for AMD64 or Itanium. Is that sufficient?

[tzot]

For me, yes, x86 is sufficient. Hopefully for others too.

[tzot]

This bug can be closed. Tix installs and works fine in 2.5.1, thank you Martin.

[loewis]

Closing as fixed in 2.5.1.
