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
