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

Fri Apr 20 10:13:30 CEST 2012

As there is no package requiring python-libgsf, I think it could be
+just dropped.

+> 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
