I have only like 8 packages that have py2 optional deps listed. So for BLFS, just do it and fix on the fly, or create a tracker bug and let the devs run through it a time or two? I don't think it's going to be all that big of a deal, but might be nice to avoid any interim breakage, do as one big commit or a small series of commits to make it easier on people who are upgrading. >> As to gimp (mentioned earlier in this thread), is excising python2 a >> goal of the 3.0 release?

The gimp team isn't exactly known to rush releases - It'll be ready when it's ready - and while it can be frustrating at times, that's ultimately a good thing. -- DJ -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
