If a build called 2.7.3 is built on the 2.7.3 release date, one may reasonably think that it is built from the 2.7.3 code released on that date. Besides which, I recognized that as the header from the PSF distributed build ;-). More problematical is any build, even of the same name, built later, by anyone else, as with Ubuntu releases. > But if it had the hg rev used > for the checkout, you have some indication of what it contains. My impression is that Ubuntu does not build from any of *our* hg revs, but that they cherry pick patches to apply in their repository. I agree that is they gave *their* repository url and checkout id, that would be helpful. We could possible do that with our releases too. -- Terry Jan Reedy
