With scour-0.38.1, when I download it using firefox I get scour-038.1.tar.gz instead of -0.38.1. If I use wget it correctly provides -0.38.1. That is the reverse of the more common behaviour. More annoyingly, since May I've only been building scour for python3 And I was still running testcss.py (and testscour.py) using python3 the last time I built it (for BLFS-10.0, using 0.37). Now, that craps out - the files have been renamed to test_css.py to test_scour.py. I could change that, but I'm unclear why we still even mention python2 for scour ? AFAICS, only inkscape uses it, for Save As optimized svg. I've just gone back to 10.0 on another box and done some doodling in inkscape-1.0, followed by saving as optimized svg (I note that when I closed inkscape after that it mentioned that optimized svg could involve data loss and offered to save as inkscape svg). While I was doing that, current inkscape completed so I ran similar tests on 1.0.1, with similar results. But maybe I'm overlooking a reason why building with python2 would be useful to someone ? ĸen -- The people next door oppress me all night long.
