Hi All,
the current python test packages remove the link python->python2.7
and replace with an alternative appraouch.
Before making the switch, I would like to review the packages that could be
broken, so I looked at all packages, not in "python*-*" form,
that pull one of the "python", "python2" and "python27" using
$ cygcheck-dep -O -S -q -n python..
as base.
There are almost 200 binary packages
(of the almost 9000 currently present on 64 bit)
The list with source package and maintainer is here:

I know that Mercurial need rebuild, and I assume the same
for subversion (that I plan to adopt).
Could you please check your packages if they will work with
preferred python3.8 ?
Texlive and fontforge seem the most urgent, IMHO, for a verification.
I think TeX Live should be fine. All of the python scripts provided by the
texlive-collection-* packages are identical across platforms, so any python3
incompatibilities would almost certainly have been reported and fixed by now. I
think all I have to do is rebuild the collections that contain python scripts to
make sure I pick up the latest versions of the upstream packages, and also to
let cygport update the dependencies. I can do that quickly as soon as cygport
is ready for the new system.
My other package listed in your spreadsheet, bzr-fastimport, is of very low
priority. It can be dealt with when and if bzr is updated. Since there hasn't
been an upstream bzr release in 5 years, updating bzr might simply be a matter
of changing the shebang in /usr/bin/bzr to specify python2. But that's up to Jari.
