Re: Bug#938819: wheel: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye
Hi Dmitry, čt 30. 1. 2020 v 22:38 odesílatel Dmitry Shachnev napsal: > However upstream python-keyring has dropped Python 2 support, and I want > to upgrade to a newer release, so Python 2 support will be dropped sooner > or later. > upstream drop of Python 2 support doesn't mean you need to drop it too. For example I'm keeping pytest at lower version for same reason. Please respect Python 2 removal and release team rules and don't remove Python 2 support untill all reverse(-build) depends (+autopkgtests) are fixed. Removing of python-keyring is blocked by 4 bugs, But recursively it's dozens, for example python-mock is affected. Removing this means marking dozens off Debian packages as AUTORM. Please be careful. If you really need to upgrade python-keyring to newer version, you could split it into two source packages. But do it only if it's really needed. Thanks for understanding. -- Best regards Ondřej Nový
Update python-sip, sip4 request
Hello, In the ROS community, a lot of developers use the 'python-orocos-kdl' library, https://github.com/orocos/orocos_kinematics_dynamics, which generates its python bindings with SIP. The versions of SIP between 4.16.7 and 4.19.20 contain bugs which make the 'python-orocos-kdl' hard to use. I worked with the developer of SIP to fix these bugs. These are fixed in the new release 4.19.21, as can be seen on https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/hg/sip. I would like to ask you to update the python-sip package on all ubuntu release 16.04 and newer to 4.19.21. This would make it possible to generate a new version of 'python-orocos-kdl', which would help a lot of developers. Met vriendelijke groeten/Kind regards, Matthijs van der Burgh
