Subject: Does Guix provide security support for Python2? For how long?
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 13:00:35 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ft325gws.fsf@disroot.org> (raw)
Hi. I use Guix on a foreign distro---Debian buster (current stable). I
want to upgrade Debian to bullseye (current testing), but bullseye does
not provide security support for Python 2. I still use Python 2 for
OfflineIMAP. There is a Python 3 port of OfflineIMAP, but it was done
very recently and I fear it is probably be buggy. So I would like to
install Guix Python 2 atop Debian bullseye just for OfflineIMAP. Would
that work fine? Does Guix, unlike Debian bullseye, still provide
security support for Python 2? For how long?
Regards
