<p>Just my feedback, several people and I, are using the SFTP solution (as, to be honest, i don't like using the web interface) and we are even recommending to do so.</p>
<p>Anyway, great job !!</p>

I'm ok with that. The oldest Ubuntu LTS (8.04 Hardy, supported until<br>
April 2013) has python-2.5.2, after which the oldest (10.04 Lucid) will<br>
have python-2.6.5 until April 2015. The oldest supported Debian release<br>
(lenny) has 2.5.2, and current (squeeze) has 2.6.6 . Previous OS-X (10.6<br>
Snow Leopard) has 2.6.1, and 10.7 Lion reportedly has 2.7.1 . I'm<br>
guessing other OSes are following roughly the same schedule.<br>
<br>
In practical terms, does this mean we should just shut down the CentOS5<br>
buildslave?<br>

Yeah! Unless there's a sudden clamor of support for py2.4, I'm dropping<br>
it from 1.9.<br>
<br>
There are a handful of things we can improve once we've properly<br>
abandoned py2.4, but of course those will wait until after 1.9.<br>

I'd also like to consider moving SFTP to a plugin (which first entails<br>
creating a plugin system). I'd like to hear folks opinions, but I've got<br>
the general feeling that SFTP is used relatively rarely, compared to the<br>
webapi.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
