Explicitly, this will result in palemoon.28.11.0 being build, only |
| 50 |
dependant on Python 3 ? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I just added a repo via layman: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
/var/lib/layman/palemoon/www-client/palemoon |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
www-client/palemoon |
| 59 |
Available versions: {M}(~)27.9.4[1] {M}**27.9999-r2[1] |
| 60 |
(~)28.2.2*l^m[1] (~)28.3.0*l^m[1] 28.9.0.1*l[2] 28.9.0.2*l[2] |
| 61 |
28.9.1*l[2] 28.9.2*l[2] 28.9.3*l[2] 28.10.0*l[2] 28.11.0 |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
via [2] "palemoon" /var/lib/layman/palemoon |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
and it builds, robustly and without errors, but is still dependent on |
| 67 |
python 2.7. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
so your details do result in palemoon 28.11.0 without python 2.7 |
| 71 |
attendances? |
