[scripts-announce] scripts.mit.edu Fedora 15 Transition

[Geoffrey Thomas]

This work is now complete, and the scripts.mit.edu servers are now running 
Fedora 15. If you have not done so already already, please make sure your 
websites are working with the new servers.

A list of common issues can be found in our release notes (which was 
linked from the upgrade announcement):
     http://scripts.mit.edu/wiki/Fedora_15
Notably, Python has been upgraded from version 2.6 to 2.7. If you're using 
local Python modules/eggs, this may involve installing updated modules 
for Python 2.7. See http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/126/ for instructions on 
how to do this.

If you have questions or comments about this upgrade, or about anything 
else regarding scripts.mit.edu, please feel free to contact us at 
scripts at mit.edu.
