Deprecation warnings from tumgreyspf cleanup cron job

[Stephen Warren]

Binary package hint: tumgreyspf

The tumgreyspf installs a cron job that runs /usr/lib/tumgreyspf/tumgreyspf-clean. This spews the following warning each time it's run:

----------
/usr/lib/tumgreyspf/tumgreyspfsupp.py:8: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
  import syslog, os, sys, string, re, time, popen2, urllib, stat
----------

Ping?

This is still present in Karmic.

FYI, the fix is trivial, in tumgreyspfsupp.py, do :

-import syslog, os, sys, string, re, time, popen2, urllib, stat
+import syslog, os, sys, string, re, time, urllib, stat

Hi,

I hope to be soon an official Debian Developer, and be able to upload fixes. Until then, you can find an update of my package in here:

http://ftparchive.gplhost.com/debian/pool/lenny/main/t/tumgreyspf/
http://ftparchive.gplhost.com/debian/pool/lenny/main/t/tumgreyspf/tumgreyspf_1.35-3.dsc

This package removes the usage of the original tumgreyspf cleanup script, and instead, uses an sh script that I wrote myself, and that I believe is faster than the python code.

Please use that package in Ubuntu to solve the above issue, until you can use the version that I will upload in SID.

Regards,

Thomas

Hi,

I have uploaded version 1.35-4 in SID, please use it. This version includes a work I did: it has a re-written sh cron job that WORKS. I also suggest replacing the current version in Lucid Lynx, as the python cron job is really too buggy.
