In fact most of them have already been automatically converted, they just need to be checked since the automatic conversion isn't perfect. But that assumes the package supports python 3 to begin with. There are lots of packages that don't support python 3 and almost certainly never will because they haven't been touched upstream in years. Those are what my current proposal focuses on. devel:languages:python:misc has packages that are not in or submitted to openSUSE:factory. Many of those are in pretty good shape, often just needing and update and a license macro in the files. Others, however, haven't been updated in years. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
