A porting guide is available: I saw that upstream seems to have migrated from gnome-doc-utils to yelp. Could you please take a look into it? Besides, the another RC bug currently lying in your package also really needs a fix. Please let me know if I can help in some ways. -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#947520: filemanager-actions: build-depends on deprecated gnome-doc-utils
Source: filemanager-actions Version: 3.4-2 Severity: important Control: block 936625 by -1 Control: block 889019 by -1 User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs gnome-doc-utils This package Build-Depends on gnome-doc-utils. gnome-doc-utils is a deprecated package of documentation utilities. Its most recent upstream release was in 2012, with most changes in its git repository since then being translation updates. The GNOME team do not consider gnome-doc-utils to be suitable for release in Debian 11 'bullseye'. The supported replacement is yelp.m4 in yelp-tools, as used in many GNOME 3 packages. A porting guide is available: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/NewDocumentationInfrastructure gnome-doc-utils relies on Python 2 code that seems unlikely to be converted to Python 3, so bug #936625 (part of the effort to remove Python 2 from Debian for Debian 11 'bullseye') has its severity set to serious. This means that this bug is highly likely to be elevated to serious severity at some point in future. Please convert this package to use yelp-tools, or if necessary remove the documentation processing entirely. Thanks, smcv
