Python2 is dead upstream *and* will be removed, something written 20 years ago will have to be upgraded or removed (that's just how IT works), and that's the reason why we are a distribution and not just a bunch of tarballs downloadable from a single source: we harmonize and organize our packages. > So, let us happily break all this. alternatively, you can just actually check what would be broken and patch it, fix it, remove it. > I will ignore any bug report against TeX Live packages concerning > Python henceforth. it's unfortunate you decided to react this way, but that wont stop the py2removal effort from continuing, including on TeX Live packages Regards, -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandrotosi
