The upstream git is alive, it seems it is ported to Python 3, |
| 22 |
but not released yet: https://git.launchpad.net/wicd/log/ |
| 23 |
Its git version is uploaded to Debian experimental: |
| 24 |
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wicd/tree/python3 |
| 25 |
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/wicd |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So I am going to test if wicd-gtk from git works without pygtk and, if it does, |
| 28 |
resurrect the ebuild. |
