Bug Description
affects ubuntu/ironpython
subscribe motu-release
I'm filing this against the ironpython source package, as this sync will
supersede it.
Please sync dlr-languages from Debian NEW. This is the new source
package for the CLI Dynamic Language Runtime and the two official
dynamic languages: IronPython and IronRuby. In Debian it has taken over
the ironpython binary package with the consent of Matthias Klose, the
previous ironpython maintainer.
The benefits of this sync are:
*) A much newer IronPython, supporting Python 2.6
*) The new IronPython is now officially supported upstream by Microsoft
*) We get IronRuby
IronPython has no rdepends, so the risks within the archive are minimal.
As this updates IronPython from 1.1.3 which wasn't even CPython
2.5-compatible to 2.6 it's possible this will break some scripts for
users of IronPython, however.
Build, install & basic runtime logs attached.

while I think the risk is pretty low, it still would need to go through new. If you can find an archive admin willing to take the job, I'm ok with getting it in.
