I just noticed that only the stored and dird plugins are affected. plugin/python-fd.so is building fine with python3 So for the moment we will switch to not deliver dird and stored python2-only plugins. |

It is on the list for 20.x - you can check the nightly build from time to time. It should start working with python3 in a few weeks now. |
|
|
the nightly build / master branch should now work without python 2. Could you give it a shot and tell me if that fixes your problem? Thank you! |

Bareos 20.0.0 has been released and adds full support for Python 3. |
|
|
build is OK, but same problem still exists with vmware FD-Plugin. This still requires python2 which is EOL. This also affects bareos 18 and 20 Are there patches already to get rid of py2 here? Thanks! |
|

How is this requiring python2? Because of the "#!/usr/bin/env python2" at the top of the plugin files? AFAICT that is never actually evaluated and you can safely remove it or change it to "#!/usr/bin/env python3". I just double-checked this. At least our Bareos 20.0.x VMware plugin packages for RHEL 8 do not require any python2. So it is not a hard requirement, but rather something we got wrong that leads to bogus dependencies being detected. |

|
Thanks for clarifying! So bareos 19 and 20 still need python2 here, right? Is there an easy way to test this? |
|
|
Bareos 19 definitely requires Python 2, because the changes to support Python 2 and Python 3 were done for Bareos 20 and were way too invasive to even consider backporting them. Bareos 20 (and, of course, everything newer) should not require Python 2 anymore. If it does, there should be an easy fix for that. However, there is a least one plugin (bareos-fd-ldap), that is known not to work with Python 3. |
|
|
Why does bareos 20 install /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bareosfd.so? Can it safely be removed from the package? |
|
|
That happens, because you have Python 2 support enabled in Bareos and you have the python2 development libraries and headers available. In that case you'll end up with a python2 plugin and a python3 plugin. If CMake doesn't find Python2 it should not build the python2 plugins. Basically, Bareos shouldn't require python2, but will use it if it is available. |
