The files named latex-2.2.3.tgz and latex-2.2.3.tar.bz2 in
ftp://python.org/pub/python/doc/2.2.3 appear to contain
documentation for Python 2.3b1 and not for Python 2.2.3.
Is the LaTeX version of the Python 2.2.3 documentation
available elsewhere?

Thanks,

Mark

Ok, after half a second of looking at this, I have a pretty
good idea of how it happened.  Very simply, the build
process for the distrubuted files doesn't know what tag from
the repository to export, so it exports the HEAD.  When it's
right, that's fine, but it's never right for the maintenance
tracks.  So the Doc/tools/mksourcepkg script needs to
receive another argument (a tag which hasn't been defined
when it gets run) or it's gonig to have to get smarter.

For now, I've fixed the 2.2.3 LaTeX packages.
