As I mentioned 2 weeks ago, I decided to backport PyDev 1.0.6 to Java 1.4 so that we could include it in Fedora. I’m glad to say that I’m done, and the patches are available here . Fabio, the author of PyDev, has released versions 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 in quick succession last week, which are bug fix releases, so I’ll be updating my patches for that shortly.
Right now I’m working on getting Jython into Fedora Extras because PyDev has Jython support. I could disable that support, and push the PyDev update into Core. But I decided it would be better to get Jython in extras, it’s a pretty important package I think. What I’ll probably end up doing once that’s done is splitting the PyDev SRPM in to several binary RPMS and make the eclipse-pydev-jython one depend on Jython itself.
If anybody is willing to be the shepherd of any of the 5 packages that include Jython and it’s dependencies in Extras let me know, as I probably won’t have time to maintain them.

Igor,
First of all thanks for working on this! Unfortunately the patches for 1.0.8 at http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/linux-distros-dev/msg00027.html are getting messed up by MHonArc. It seems like is mainly a whitespace problem, but would it be possible to make the patches directly available (http, http://ftp. etc.)?
Thanks!
Hi John,
I’ll repost a new version of the patches tomorrow, I’ll try to port them to 1.1.0 first, but I’ll make sure to make them available on http as well.
I’m also been trying to make a patch that sets a default interpreter on Linux and Mac, but that hasn’t worked out fully yet.

Hi Igor! I was wondering, are you interested in having your blog carried on the Fedora planet feed? Just let skvidal or f13 know; I think either of them can add you. (Like you, I use WP and use the ?cat=X suffix to carry only my “Fedora” category on the feed. Oh, and of course, thanks for all your hard work, and I hope you have a great summer. It was nice meeting you in Boston.
Hi Paul,
I think that’s a great idea. I’ll ping Seth about it.
