Subject: libhdate: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye

Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2019 07:23:31 +0000

Package: src:libhdate
Version: 1.6.02-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid bullseye
User: debian-python@lists.debian.org
Usertags: py2removal

Python2 becomes end-of-live upstream, and Debian aims to remove
Python2 from the distribution, as discussed in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/07/msg00080.html

Your package either build-depends, depends on Python2, or uses Python2
in the autopkg tests.  Please stop using Python2, and fix this issue
by one of the following actions.

- Convert your Package to Python3. This is the preferred option.  In
  case you are providing a Python module foo, please consider dropping
  the python-foo package, and only build a python3-foo package.  Please
  don't drop Python2 modules, which still have reverse dependencies,
  just document them.
  
  This is the preferred option.

- If the package is dead upstream, cannot be converted or maintained
  in Debian, it should be removed from the distribution.  If the
  package still has reverse dependencies, raise the severity to
  "serious" and document the reverse dependencies with the BTS affects
  command.  If the package has no reverse dependencies, confirm that
  the package can be removed, reassign this issue to ftp.debian.org,
  make sure that the bug priority is set to normal and retitle the
  issue to "RM: PKG -- removal triggered by the Python2 removal".

- If the package has still many users (popcon >= 300), or is needed to
  build another package which cannot be removed, document that by
  adding the "py2keep" user tag (not replacing the py2remove tag),
  using the debian-python@lists.debian.org user.  Also any
  dependencies on an unversioned python package (python, python-dev)
  must not be used, same with the python shebang.  These have to be
  replaced by python2/python2.7 dependencies and shebang.

  This is the least preferred option.

If the conversion or removal needs action on another package first,
please document the blocking by using the BTS affects command, like

  affects <bug number of blocking py2removal bug> + src:libhdate

If there is no py2removal bug for that reverse-dependency, please file
a bug on this package (similar to this bug report).

If there are questions, please refer to the wiki page for the removal:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal, or ask for help on IRC
#debian-python, or the debian-python@lists.debian.org mailing list.

The python-hdate bindings for libhdate has only a single reverse
build-dependency: bsdmainutils.

The python(2) bindings can be dropped as soon as python3 bindings
are provided (and bsdmainutils is ported over to use them).

There's already a bug report open about that in #727005 so marking
than one as a blocker.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

User-Agent: NeoMutt/20180716

Hi Andreas,

I don't foresee this working, because the package depends on swig to
perform the heavy lifting for the python bindings, and debian currently
packages only version 3 of swig, which as far as I can tell, does not
support python3...

Version 4 of swig does seem to support python3, using a new command-line
option `-py3`.

I'm cc'ing  Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org> on this bug, as he
is llisted as the debian maintainer for the swig package.

@Torsten - Am I correct about python3 support in swig3? Is debian
planning on soon updating the package to version 4 (ie. before debian
drops support for python2)? Do you have any suggestions or pointers for
us?

swig3 had support for Python3, and now we have swig 4.0 in the archive.  Any
update on this?

I understood this to be for the debian hebrew packaging team, to approve
and apply the patch submitted by Andreas Henriksson[1] (the related debian bug
727005).

Thanks Moritz for stepping forward and adopting this. I still haven't
heard back from any member of the 'Debian Hebrew Maintainers' team, but
will continue in the future to attempt to use them as a first point of
contact until/unless I hear that they have been disolved / superseded /
replaced. Any word on why the silence from them?

Hi Bourch,

We're still alive/here, and any help is much appreciated (thanks Moritz,
feel free to NMU, no need to wait for us).

Most members are busy with Debconf20 (moved from Haifa to an online
conference).
