Indeed, 1.2.0 arrived today.

I would not complain if Jaunty moved to 1.2.0 and that's what got backported (big surprise!).

There are some real differences between 1.2.0 and Jaunty's 1.1.0-1 (which I believe corresponds to SCons's October 1.1.0 release). Looking at SCons's changelog, one change in particular looks like it might effect our builds: "Make the File.{Dir,Entry,File}() methods create their entries relative to the calling File's directory, not the SConscript directory." Admittedly, I haven't tried a SCons beyond the October 1.1.0 release yet, so I'm not 100% positive it'll impact our stuff.

Just thought I'd throw in my opinion as a user and the backport requester...
