I want to emphasis again me recent change to the python-build-system, which makes setuptools available for Python 2, too, and will thus unburden from the need of both setting python2-variant and manually inheriting a package to add python2-setuptools. So for most cases a plain package-with-python2 transformation would be enough. Maybe you want to review that patch-series soon :-) -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
