[opensuse-kde] eric5 for KDF
Looking at the list of outdated packages, I see that we have never packaged eric5 - we still have an eric4 version. Anyone know why this is?

It needs dbus-python, but there is no such thing for python3. python-qt4 is supposed to work with python3, and an online search failed to turn up a simple soluation, so since I don't use python3 I decided to direct my attention elsewhere rather than hunting down a solution. There are also no python3 RPM macros available from openSUSE, and manually avoiding conflicts with python-qt2 was non-trivial. As far as I am aware there is nothing fundamentally preventing, it just required more work than I was willing to dedicate. Eric4 is still getting new updates, so it never seemed particularly pressing. You are free to take a shot at it, although obviously the first step is getting the python qt packages (python-qt4 and python-sip) building for python3 and installing in parallel with their python2 counterparts (with no conflicts). Actually, if you want to REALLY help out then it would be great if you could start with writing python3 versions of the existing python2 rpm macros. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Heh, I'm neither a big python packager nor an eric user. Thanks for the explanation but I think I'll leave this update on the tree for the same reasons you did. Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
