[Mageia-dev] libgsf 1.14.23: no python by default

Fri Apr 20 10:08:31 CEST 2012

In just released libgsf (1.14.23), Python is not built by default.
+
+Quoting https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672663:
+| The python bindings  depends in pygtk-codegen-2.0 which is now a wrapper
+| for pygobject-codegen-2.0 which itself was removed from pygobject.
+| Instrospection being available they are obsolete either way.
+| 
+| This patch disable their generation by default.
+
+What to do with above? By default python support is not built anymore
+due to above. I can enable it in configure again, but prefer to just not
+build it (despite above, still compiles with --with-python). If
+something needs libgsf, they should use gobject introspection (which you
+can use from Python as well as js, etc).
+
+Nothing seems to depend on python-libgsf AFAICS
+
+Should I:
+- disable for Mageia 2 (as nothing seems to require python-libgsf)
+  should I add a Obsolete and where? task-obsolete or libgsf itself?
+- enable static python bindings only for Mageia 2, remove after
+  in case something actually requires it
+- stay with current libgsf version
+  problem sounds generic though, would apply to previous as well
+
