[chirp_devel] Debian Bug#936299: chirp: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye
I doubt it. Fedora has already started the "orphan" process for python2. See my earlier emails to the list last year sometime. I would not be surprised if Ubuntu et al also orphan those packages as well. Upstream stops supporting as of Jan 2020 and that is significant to the distros. No one wants to support what upstream has deprecated.
I believe there is already a python3 migration effort underway although I've no direct info about it.
I do see a py3 branch in source control. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/repository/show?rev=py3 The last was march of this year however, but I'm not sure if that represents code stored on any devs machine that hasn't been pushed up yet.
If the py3 port has a checklist of things that need to be done I'm willing to lend a hand.
Tony.
