Hi Emanoil, Nik, the topic of python 2 has come up already in internal discussions. Here is the current status:
- we will need to migrate to python3 as some point. Some work has
already been done, but a lot is still required. May happen for R14.1.0 or in one of the subsequent R14.1.x releases.
- python bindings (python-trinity and pytdeextensions) works on
python 2 but need to be updated for python 3
- tdebindings is mostly broken AFAICT. I personally would like to see
it fixed, but we have postponed any work on it till after R14.1.0 is released.
- you can perfectly run TDE on bullseye, no problem there.
If you want to help you are welcome, obviusly :-)
Thank you for the update Michele, for the python as mentioned to me it is disturbing that it tries to symlink under /usr/bin, might be I try to fix this one only.
What about other packages like kpilot and qt4-theme? Are they going to be dropped?
regards
This symlink was created there during the build, because the standard CDBS rules "python-distutils" expect the "python" binary available. And because it's easier to create a symlink than modify standard CDBS rules, we used this little hack.
Cheers
