Re: [arch-general] What to do about the "blender" package?
Excerpts from Allan McRae's message of Sun Jul 19 00:00:53 -0400 2009:
So the package is out-of-date and the new version does not build? Could be a reason why it is not updated...
I recall Blender not having support for python 2.6 at some point (while we had 2.6). It seems some folks have now successfully built Blender with 2.6 support, but it seeems woefully unofficial. I wonder what can be done about that. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

Doesn't Blender 2..49a have Python 2.6 support by default? At least the Windows downloads on blender.org come with Python 2.5 OR Python 2.6.

I briefly read that they were hoping to push it in for Blender 2.5, but perhaps what I read was incorrect/outdated. I'd actually been running Python 2.5 in parallel with 2.6 for a while for the blender support, and it's a pita :) I'm hoping it'll be fixed up. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp.
