Package: vmdk-stream-converter Version: 0.2-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch Forwarded: https://github.com/imcleod/VMDK-stream-converter/pull/3
Dear Maintainer, Support for Python 2.7 will end in 2020 [1], in Buster's support period. Please switch to Python3 with the package to rely on a supported Python version for the foreseeable future. The current upstream code does not work with Python3 but an open PR [2] fixes that. I'm attaching proposed changes to the package to make the switch to Python3 and also switch to a package name aligning with the policy for shipping Python3 modules Thanks, Balint [1] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/ [2] https://github.com/imcleod/VMDK-stream-converter/pull/3 -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vmdk-stream-converter depends on: ii python 2.7.14-1 vmdk-stream-converter recommends no packages. vmdk-stream-converter suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
