Bug#1084420: python-fusepy: move from fuse to fuse3

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi,

thanks for letting me know!

Please migrate your package to the fuse3 library, which is actively
maintained. It would be great if we could remove fuse 2.x in the
forky development cycle.

Unfortunately, fusepy is slow or maybe even dead upstream -- master has not seen a commit in years and a fuse3 compatibility PR has been sitting without comment upstream for over a month [1]. I think it is unlikely that migration to fuse3 is possible in a short timeframe.

If you cannot migrate yet, please at least update your Depends: line.
If you currently have:

Depends: fuse

please update that to:

Depends: fuse3 (>= 3.10.1-3) | fuse (<< 3)

Would just using

  Depends: fuse (<<3)

be ok?

Thanks
Sascha

This package depends on libfuse and provides ctypes bindings to libfuse. I don't think the above line is rather meant to be used for packages that actually use mount.fuse and fusermount? I think if there are API breaks in fuse3 then the first part wouldn't work, right?
