Bug 712108 – dev-vcs/git-remote-hg: needs py3 port

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2020-03-11 06:23:43 UTC]

Please port to py3 or lastrite.

[Comment 1 Nikos Chantziaras 2020-03-11 12:23:19 UTC]

Upstream has no immediate plans to port to python 3, so I guess lastrite.

[Comment 2 Nikos Chantziaras 2020-03-11 18:07:44 UTC]

Btw, is there something I need to be doing? Am I supposed to do the lastriting?

[Comment 3 Michał Górny 2020-03-11 19:41:48 UTC]

Ah, sorry, I've forgotten that you don't have commit access.  Are you sure that it doesn't work with py3 though?

[Comment 4 Nikos Chantziaras 2020-03-11 20:26:14 UTC]

Yes, it does not work. Upstream report:

Python 3 compatibility has been merged:

I've been using a snapshot at 28ed63b7 which seems to work fine - tests even pass (with 2 known problems skipped).

Thanks for the head-up. Submitted PR using that commit and removing the package from last-rites.

[Comment 7 Nikos Chantziaras 2020-07-16 14:34:44 UTC]

Well, the PR was not merged and as a result the package was removed from portage. Sorry, nothing I could do to prevent this from my end. You should manually install the script as documented here:

Closing.
