Source: freeradius
Version: Please consider to split out python2 module into a separate package
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
In anticipation of introducing python3 module, and python2
depreciation, please consider to split out python freeradius module
into a separate subpackage. This is similar to how e.g. -postgres /
-mysql / etc modules live in separate submodules. This will enable one
to install freeradius without having python2 installed on the system,
which may be desired by some sysadmins going forward.
See the attached proposed patch.
Note, depending on the version numbers actually uploaded, Breaks &
Replaces version numbers may require adjustments.
Regards,
Dimitri.
