Bug 367739 – app-pda/libopensync-plugin-google-calendar removal request (was: prepare to use xml.use_pyxml())

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2011-05-17 17:10:17 UTC]

This package specifies dependency on dev-python/pyxml.

Please test this package with dev-lang/python-2.7.1-r2:2.7 or >=dev-lang/python-2.7.2_pre20110515:2.7, which require explicit calling of xml.use_pyxml() before using PyXML.

If this package actually needs PyXML, then modify all modules/scripts of this package, which import xml module. The following code should be added before first import of anything from xml module:

import xml
if hasattr(xml, "use_pyxml"):
    xml.use_pyxml()

This code works with previous versions of Python, so no changes in dependencies are needed.

dirtyepic, any objections on lastriting this single plug-in for bug 367729?

the workaround proposed by Arfrever there is retarded and I honestly don't see this getting fixed anytime soon, knowing the opensync upstream status.

Please lastrite all of opensync.  I have even less time to work on it now than before.  You can do the I-told-you-so dance if you like.

I wouldn't go that far myself since you did pretty decent job with cleaning the status earlier.

If it's okay I'd just like to get rid of this single plug-in and not go futher yet. 
Putting my pda@ hat on, you can dump the opensync packages back to the herd if you wish -- we will try to keep alive what we can.

Please don't forget to mailing gentoo-dev ML asking for help, I would also try to blog about this as maybe some users volunteers to help with it
