Source: libpeas Version: 1.22.0-4 Severity: important User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: python-gi-dev-945022 Control: block 945022 by -1
Please see https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/pygobject/merge_requests/2 for the latest information on this transition. python-gi-dev contains development files (pkg-config metadata and header file) corresponding to both python-gi and python3-gi. At the moment, python-gi-dev Depends on both python-gi and python3-gi. The GNOME team would like to drop the python-gi dependency, to make the status of Python 2 removal easier to track. A version with this change might become available in experimental soon. The package receiving this bug is one of a few packages that build-depend on python-gi-dev and appear to build Python 2 bindings. In my local testing against the wip/945022 branch of pygobject, it fails to build from source after the python-gi dependency is removed. I'll prepare a patch when I get a bug number back. Thanks, smcv
