It *does* mean that. I know it's not speculation because I've been going through this process in Fedora as part of removing the Python 2 stack. We currently have exceptions in place for a small number of Python 2 modules so that all the Chromium functionality works (in particular, chrome-remote-desktop depends on python2-psutil).
And this here is openSUSE - Fedora is no reference.
I'm going to pass by this deliberately antagonistic and outright ludicrous statement.
If I stay Firefox can use Python2 to build, it can use python2 to build and won't have to disappear. That's my right as Release Manager - and together with the python maintainers this is the decided course.
And you should *read* emails better. I was indicating that it would be a problem if the interpreter was removed. That was *before* Tomas replied stating the interpreter is sticking around for a while. And *you* did accept removal of all Python 2 modules, so packages that explicitly depended on some at runtime (if they were ever explicitly declared), will break. That's fine and good if you want that. Fortunately, Chromium on openSUSE does not provide remote desktop support, so that dependency isn't a problem. I'm primarily concerned about explicit requirements of Python 2 modules. And if maintainers take attitudes like Wolfgang's, then things will just continue to break and get removed. Hopefully it won't lead to an implosion somewhere... -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
