Bug#933076: lintian: [new-check] uses-obsolete-python-distutils
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
this is my first lintian bug.. please bear with me :)
In debhelper compat 12, the python-distutils buildsystem was removed and
pybuild should be used instead (see debhelper manpage):
"The python-distutils buildsystem is now removed.
Please use the third-party build system pybuild instead."
I suggest to add a warning in lintian, regardless of the dh compat
level, so that people are aware and migrate as early as possible away
from python-distutils to pybuild.
Please let me know if you like to add this, so I can (try) to come up
with a patch for it.
Regards,
Daniel
