Been running my server without python2 since… 2019-11-16 I thought it |
| 40 |
was more than that but still quite a lot considering that I kept clang-8 |
| 41 |
for a while before switching to clang-9 on it. (I use clang as main |
| 42 |
compiler, I'm also deprecating gcc so prefer to play it safe) |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I still have a bunch of stuff on my desktop&laptop requiring python2, |
| 45 |
like nodejs or renpy but it's getting quite better in the last months, |
| 46 |
one I'm trully fearing about how it will go is dev-util/scons, I guess |
| 47 |
a lot of patches will be required on the releases. |
| 48 |

I think this kind of discussion might be better on the forums or |
| 50 |
a user list btw. |
