Bug 651946 – net-wireless/crda python3 support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Boris Staletic 2018-03-29 19:33:28 UTC]

I have made the only python file (utils/key2pub.py) work on both python2 and python3.
The attached patch applies cleanly to the CRDA master as off Thu Mar 29 21:21:50 CEST 2018 and to the 3.18-r1 version.
The patch should apply cleanly to version 1.1.3-r1 too, but I couldn't test that one.

Granted, this patch is more suitable for upstream, but I couldn't find the correct way to submit CRDA patches.

Sorry about that, somehow I missed the patch. I hope the patches make it clear what I have done, if not, feel free to ask.

Note that ebuild doesn't have the necessary `PYTHON_COMPAT` ammended, because it depends on dev-python/m2crypto having python3 USE flags enabled.

M2Crypto works with python3 upstream, but the ebuild in portage tree is lagging behind.

Workaround without patches of above but going back to stable:

emerge -C  dev-python/typing  dev-python/m2crypto   net-wireless/crda
echo "dev-python/m2crypto -~amd64" >>/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
emerge -1 dev-python/m2crypto   net-wireless/crda

without dev-python/typing
