Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1523974/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

- It doesn't have all its dependencies in the archive yet.
- It needs a team bug subscriber (server team presumably)
- It only runs tests against python2.7, not python3.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

Hi mterry,

Thanks for the review.

* The dependencies are all in main but some are stuck in proposed, so just waiting to get those through.
* The package now has a team bug subscriber.
* I tried enabling the Python3 tests however I hit this bug which Thomas also hit in Debian: https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-win/+bug/1523539.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Some of those errors seem like real issues (i.e. it appears that the module doesn't use Python3-compatible code). Does this package actually support py3?

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

Good point. It does look like it's not py3-compatible based on those errors. We might be able to drop the py3 binaries from the packaging until upstream resolves this. Would that be ok with you, assuming there aren't packages dependent on the py3 binaries?

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

That's fine by me.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

python-os-win 0.0.6-1ubuntu1 is in the archive now and it drops the py3 binaries. I've asked in #ubuntu-release for an achive admin to drop the python3-os-win binaries, and that should get the package out of proposed.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

The packaging still depends on a lot of python3 packages and builds the code for python3 (just doesn't make a package from it). But that's harmless. Approved, assuming you can get it to the release pocket.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

Thanks Michael. Yeah I left d/control in tact so that we can re-enable py3 binaries more easily when they are ready.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

This should be all set now, the py3 binaries have been removed.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Cool. Just have openstack start using it and an archive admin will promote it.
