[Python-Dev] Switching to Visual Studio 2010 (original) (raw)

I... I think I might have already done this, inadvertently. I needed an x64 VS2010 debug build of Subversion/APR*/Python a few weeks ago -- forgetting the fact that we're still on VS2008.

There is a lot of duplication of work going on here: at least four people have done the same. The more people duplicate the work, the more urgent it apparently becomes that the trunk switches "officially".

* Three new buildbot scripts: - build-amd64-vs10.bat - clean-amd64-vs10.bat - external-amd64-vs10.bat

When we switch, these should actually replace the current ones, rather than being additions.

So, I guess my question is, is that work useful?

Perhaps not, given that several other copies of that to draw from may exist. OTOH, I haven't heard anybody reporting these specific changes. In any case, it's now in Brian's hand.

Regards, Martin
