Hi All,
So with crda and the remaining python2 modules removed the question was if removing python2 from the build ran without any problem or if something was flagged up.
ca-certificates was flagged up.
There is a python2 script, certdata2pem.py, which fails if python2 is not present. Running that script with python3 flags up some invalid syntax, unsurprisingly.
I found some patches in Debian from 2015 for certdata2pem.py to provide python3 compatibility. Unfortunately looking at the patch approx half could not be applied because the lines don't exist in the IPFire version of certdata2pem.py (sections to do with blacklisted certs)
I then ran the 2to3 converter on certdata2pem.py and tried that in the build but it came up with the following error.
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
I don't know how to further move forward with this as I am totally unfamiliar with the python language.
Regards,
Adolf.
