Hello, I know that this is quite old, but I would like to share this error during a build on Debian unstable.

Cheers

Fred

@picca This has been fixed. Available since v9.3.0.
See PR #262.

Can I close this issue?

[picca]

Yes, I was just asking because I just trig one of my CI pipeline. I am waiting for tango 9.3.X before requesting an upload of pytango 9.3.3 Cheers Fred

I know @bourtemb is working on completing the 9.3.x release. He is close to completion.

We had a question for @picca : when would the new release of pytango 9.3.3 be included in the debian packaging e.g. would it be available for Debian 10 as a replacement for 9.2.5?

Yes it possible, we call this a backport. So once we have a tango 9.3.3 in testing, it will be possible to prepare a backport for Debian 10 which is already released ;). I think that pytango should be also backported in order to have a coherent stack. We also need to check that taurus from buster is compatible with pytango 9.3.3. So, I would say, it is important to prepare a fully working stack in Debian testing, and then backports all the stack at once. Juste to avoid bad user experience. I personnaly do not have time to test all this, but I can help review and upload the packages, once they are in salsa.debian.org We need also to considere the Ubuntu deadlines in order to avoid a brekage in the next Ubuntu release. Cheers Fred

OK. Closing this.
(Note: next pytango release will be 9.3.1).
