Bug#739790: please provide a python3-subversion package
Package: subversion Version: 1.8.5-2 User: debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org Usertags: python3 Please build the subversion bindings for Python3, but keep building the bindings for Python2. I don't think that a hard switch can be made, and we have to provide both at least for some time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#739790: please provide a python3-subversion package
[Matthias Klose] Please build the subversion bindings for Python3, but keep building the bindings for Python2. I don't think that a hard switch can be made, and we have to provide both at least for some time. Python3 is not supported upstream. A port was done, or at least attempted, a couple years ago by an upstream developer, but the patches were deemed too ugly to mainstream, for not much benefit. The situation may change in the future if, e.g., upstream drops support for Python 2.5. Perhaps the patches to support both 2.6 and 3.x would be less ugly. I'd rather not maintain a patchset for Python 3 compatibility until upstream supports it, as I don't really understand it.

I only did see some conditionalization on python3 in the upstream sources. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
