Jason Tishler announced last month[1] that he intends to upgrade Python

If anybody needs them, my Python-dependent distro packages have been rebuilt and are available in a staging area here:
ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/uploads/
In order to assure a prompt and smooth transition to Python 2.7, the
following packages will need a rebuild/update:
Marco Atzeri: postgresql
postgresql upgrade is blocked by a rebase/objcopy issue
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-01/msg00199.html
also patching cygport to use
"--long-section-names enable" together with "--add-gnu-debuglink"
one of the dll "dict_snowball-dll" causes rebase to segfault
I am not sure if it is objcopy creating a bugged debuglink dll,
or it is rebase incorrectly choking on it.
As workaround, I can release 9.2.2 without debug symbols,
but I will prefer that we understand ,possibly solve,
the issue before.
TIA,
Yaakov
