Ahoj,
I see that there is a package
omniverse/tauthon which replaces
python2:
Repository : omniverse
Name : tauthon
Version : 2.8.2-4
Description : Fork of Python 2.7 with new syntax, builtins, and libraries backported from Python 3
[...]
Provides : python2
[...]
Conflicts With : python2
Replaces : python2
[...]
Dear Maintainer, can you add a
=${pkgver} to it's
python2-
provides-entry?
Reason: There is some software around which has versioned dependency on
python2, which would not be resolved without a versioned
provides entry:
:: removing python2 breaks dependency 'python2>=2.3.4' required by elyxer
:: removing python2 breaks dependency 'python2>=2.4' required by pdfsizeopt-git
Regards!, and thanks for this package.
tauthon was not meant to be/stay in this repo. But you have a use for it?

I have a use for
python2.
A system upgrade wanted to replace
python2 with
tauthon due to it's
replaces entry.
I am fine with either, but it
tauthon replaces or provides
python2 it should smoothly integrate, I think.
As long as it works I have no preference about which package provides Python 2.7 compatibility.
Regards!
