Release new version with py3 support #4
Comments
Can you please specify which script files specifically are incompatible with Python 3 and why? To me, it seems all Python scripts are compatible with Python 3 now; it builds just fine to me. Also, I think it would make sense to treat “py3 support” and “release new version” as two separate issues. |
Python 3 support was added in ffb7cb7 |
I see, it seems this issue is actually just about making a release then. In that case, I want to note that there are still a couple of things that should be fixed in OpenMSX, like the outdated build system with Mercirual references, or the outdated README file. Speaking of releases, I suggest that when all problems in OpenMSX are fixed, go straight for version 1.0.0. OpenMSX has been de facto finished for years, there is no point in false humility. ;-) |
Yup, py3 support is only the reason for wanting a release, not something left to fix :-)
Per you own logic (which I agree with), these should probably be separate issues. Looking at the issue list, it seems you already created issues, so I guess your question really is: "Can we fix #5 and #6 before release?" |
I don't really mind if the release would be done without the other fixes, as long they will be fixed (and released) eventually. PRs are already in the pipeline for that, after all. But a release without a functional up-to-date build scripting should probably not be 1.0.0. |
You can't have a release until the build scripting is modernised, it's a prerequisite. :) But given it has been done for OpenSFX, it shouldn't be hard to get it working for OpenMSX too. I'm a bit busy at the moment but when I get a chance I'll take a look at it if nobody's beaten me to it first. (Feel free to volunteer!) |
Issue resolved. New release following shortly |
I noticed that py3 support was added to master last month. Any chance this can be included in a new release soon? Debian is in the process of removing Python2, so without py3 support, OpenMSX will be removed in the near future. I might try backporting the py3 changes, but here have been some other build system changes, so I'm not sure if that will just work.
