Hi, 

Quickly from my phone... 


Of course, we can update Stable with targeted patches (only: no new upstream 
release except in very rare cases). 


I can take care of the update tomorrow, though the next point release is in a 
few month from now. 


Also note that I uploaded all 4 pysnmp/asn1 modules from lextudio. Is your 
patch from them ? 


Cheers, 


Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Hello,


Package python3-pysnmp4 is partially unusable in Debian 12 because its asyncio 
backend is using @asyncio.coroutine decorator that has been removed from Python 
3.11.

It is, imho, quite a serious issue, as any code using PySNMP4 on a machine will 
stop working after upgrading from Debian 11 to Debian 12 (my case).

I'm not aware of how Debian stable updates work, but I think we should consider 
making an exception for that.

I prepared a patched package version using backported patch from new upstream 
(previous maintainer passed away) and had to deal with an upstream bug too. Now 
it works again and I added all information to the Debian bug report: 
https://bugs.debian.org/1051774

The fix is quite safe as it impacts only asyncio backend, and current version 
is not importable at all so I do not see how it could lead to any regression.

What is your opinion about this ?


Best regards, Adam.
