I tried to rebuild 0ad without python installed. The build fails with: [...] Building SpiderMonkey...
SpiderMonkey build options: --enable-shared-js --disable-tests --without-intl-api --enable-shared-js --disable-tests --without-intl-api [...] checking for full perl installation... yes checking for python2.7... no checking for python... no configure: error: python was not found in $PATH [...] This is with SpiderMonkey from mozjs-38.2.1. The problem should be solved when 0ad will support a more recent version of SpiderMonkey. The problem is already knwon upstream. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/5694 Bye On Tue, 04 Aug 2020 09:27:36 +0000 Matthias Klose <d...@debian.org> wrote: > Package: src:0ad > Version: 0.0.23.1-4 > Severity: serious > Tags: sid bullseye > User: debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org > Usertags: py2unversioned > > Python2 becomes end-of-live upstream, and Debian aims to remove > Python2 from the distribution, as discussed in > https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/07/msg00080.html > > We will keep some Python2 package as discussed in > https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2020/07/msg00039.html > but removing the unversioned python packages python-minimal, python, > python-dev, python-dbg, python-doc. > > Your package either build-depends, depends on one of those packages. > Please either convert these packages to Python3, or if that is not > possible, replaces the dependencies on the unversioned Python > packages with one of the python2 dependencies (python2, python2-dev, > python2-dbg, python2-doc). > > Please check for dependencies, build dependencies AND autopkg tests. > > If there are questions, please refer to the wiki page for the removal: > https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal, or ask for help on IRC > #debian-python, or the debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org mailing list. > >
