PyHoca-CLI (0.6.1.2) released

Dear all

The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,pyhoca-cli''.

New gains of this version of ,,pyhoca-cli'' are:

o RPM packaging improvements, mostly for Fedora/EPEL o build against either Python 2 or Python 3 depending on OS

Known issues: o same caveats as for the Python X2Go 0.6.1.2 release

*** IMPORTANT NOTE *** The following disclaimer can also be found in the Python X2Go 0.6.1.2 release notes:

This is not a particularly good release. It has a lot of known issues and might not work for you.

Please evaluate carefully if this version works correctly before deploying it widely.

This said, we desperately need this release for Debian, which is in the process of phasing out Python-2-software. *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***

X2Go Component: pyhoca-cli Version: 0.6.1.2 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1577361457 Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2019 12:57:37 +0100 Changes: pyhoca-cli (0.6.1.2) RELEASED; urgency=medium .

• [ Mihai Moldovan ]
• New upstream version (0.6.1.2):
  • man/man1/pyhoca-cli.1: pre-release date update.
• pyhoca-cli.spec:
  • Backport macros from python-x2go.spec.
  • Prefer Python 3 if both variants have been requested, so that we only ever build for one variant.
  • Use %{?with_pythonX} and %{name_helper_pythonX} macros. Also fixes running against nightly versions of python-x2go.
  • Replace hashbang with version determined by name helper.
  • Fix syntax error.
  • Actually change the hashbang of a file...
  • Fix building Python 2 variant on older *SuSE variants.
  • Also fix install phase for Python 2 variant on older *SuSE variants.
  • Fix files section on older *SuSE variants.
  • Fix files section on older *SuSE variants again, remove faulty slash.
  • Use %{name} instead of hardcoding the string in %prep.
  • Fix selecting either Python 2 XOR 3. We cannot override bconds via later %bcond_with... XXX macro calls, but have to use them only once with the correct value. Hence, use a global variable to store and mangle the preferences and only use %bcond_... X later once.
  • Fix typo in Python-2-Requires: line: random % char.
  • Hopefully fix builds on *SuSE: even pure Python-3-builds need python-devel as a build requirement (only)... for some weird reason.
  • Revert backport *SuSE build fix: we probably don't need this, problem lies somewhere else.
  • Actually fix issue: macros are expanded even in commented lines and some of them were not properly escaped via double percent sign characters.
  • Fix another unescaped macro in comment.
  • Fix newer *SuSE versions: 15.0+ seem to install the pycace files into a subdirectory based on the package name.
  • Fix spelling error in pycache directory.
  • Actually apply pycache changes to 15.0+ and not just 15.1+.
  • Also apply pycache changes to Tumbleweed, which seems to not get caught by %{sle_version}.

Regards,

Mihai Moldovan
