Hi, we've successfully removed Python 2 from default Workstation installation
years ago, today I'd like to see if we could do it in Xfce Spin as well.
For those not in the picture: Python 2 ill EOL in 11 months, 22 days [0].
We are trying to get rid of it as much as possible in Fedora [1][2].
Eliminating Python 2 from our defualt installations is an important step here.
Today, if I try to uninstall python2 from Xfce spin (rawhide), this is what
gets removed as dependent:
NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome
blueberry
gnumeric
python2-catfish
system-config-keyboard
system-config-users
Several others go as no longer needed, mostly python2 libs, but also:
NetworkManager-openconnect
bluez-obex
bluez-tools
openconnect
wmctrl
While I doubt the actual usefulness of gnumeric, what bothers me is:
1. It seems that the Bluetooth stack is entirely gone. Do we have an viable
alternative?
2. If openconnect is not needed on Workstation, why is it needed in Xfce?
3. Can we set keyboards/users with some alternatives? system-config-* still
link to fedorahosted as upstream and haven't received an update in years. They
seem pretty upstream dead to me.
4. Catfish is Python 3 compatible, but the Fedora maintainer is not [4].
We can just switch to the python3 package catfish-python3, should be good
enough, or?
That package has bad usability, nobody wants to use the command "catfish-py3"
instead of "catfish" or see "Catfish(py3)" in the menu.
There is no point of having python3-catfish and python2-catfish. Yet the
maintainer does not have the intention to fix their broken package.
Zbyszek just merged my catfish commit, but I'm prepared for a revert from the
maintainer.
