I'm definitely interested. The Arch maintainer filed an issue for the same problem and attached his own patch here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107014 But as you said, the real solution has to be a port to Python3. Would it be okay to drop Python2 support entirely? Doing so in a 1.5.x maintenance release sounds too intrusive. Should I target a 1.6.0 release with Python3 as dependency and also include my "cxx-future" branch, where I require C++11? -- Best Regards Patrick Ohly _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list SyncEvolution@syncevolution.org https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
