Where can we see a list of all affected packages, including packages that depend on an affected package? Similarly to Larry for VirtualBox, users with good python knowledge might step forward to volunteer converting their favourite package to python 3.

devel:languages:python:singlespec-staging has most of the packages that need to be converted. In fact most of them have already been automatically converted, they just need to be checked since the automatic conversion isn't perfect. But that assumes the package supports python 3 to begin with. There are lots of packages that don't support python 3 and almost certainly never will because they haven't been touched upstream in years. Those are what my current proposal focuses on. devel:languages:python:misc has packages that are not in or submitted to openSUSE:factory. Many of those are in pretty good shape, often just needing and update and a license macro in the files. Others, however, haven't been updated in years. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
