rwpfsmithred, But would it get the same answer in #debian?  Have to say that I am not sure these days...  It's less clueful there now... now that clueful people moved here. :-)00:01
fsmithredrwp, I'm under the impression that #debian does not give a lot of answers in cases that are comparable to ones where we do give answers.00:02
fsmithredunless you consider an attack to be an answer.00:02
rwpYes.  That was my experience too.  It is a response.  An undesirable one.00:03

james1138Question: I am looking at chimaera - but a lot of the stuff I love to use depend on Python2 and it appears chimaera left out or phased out Python2. How much trouble is it to add back?00:25
_ds_Python 2 has been obsolete for over 2 years now.00:26
_ds_And deprecated for several before that.00:27
james1138I better stay with Devuan 10 then. Thanks00:27
_ds_It's still there if you need it, though.00:27
rwpjames1138, I do not use python2 so take this with caution but python2 can simply be installed. https://paste.debian.net/plain/124215500:28
james1138ds: how much trouble to re-add it? I tried a while back with mixed results and went back to Devuan 10.00:29
_ds_I don't recall right now, but it is installed locally Just In Case.00:30
james1138Humm... RWP - thanks... could that also apply to Devuan chimaera 32 bit? I using Devuan on my older Thinkpad.00:31
brocashelmyes, should be no problem00:31
* _ds_ notes the availability of two mutually-exclusive helper packages00:33
_ds_– python-is-python2 and python-is-python300:33
