Adding a symlink or running update-alternatives isn't a big deal either. The affected people are Kudu developers, and I one of those. If you don't do much development in Kudu on platforms which are still python2-based, that's fine, but there are other people around you who will be affected. -- To view, visit http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/20079 To unsubscribe, visit http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/settings Gerrit-Project: kudu Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-MessageType: comment Gerrit-Change-Id: I824daa0cf151e89f783db98d46fb23ce9e267093 Gerrit-Change-Number: 20079 Gerrit-PatchSet: 1 Gerrit-Owner: Attila Bukor <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Abhishek Chennaka <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Alexey Serbin <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Attila Bukor <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Kudu Jenkins (120) Gerrit-Reviewer: Marton Greber <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Wang Xixu <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Zoltan Chovan <[email protected]> Gerrit-Comment-Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2023 21:51:15 +0000 Gerrit-HasComments: No
