Description of problem: Running hellanzb, receive: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/_sslverify.py:5: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import itertools, md5 /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/python/filepath.py:12: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Hellanzb/Util.py:33: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6 self.message = message Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hellanzb-0.13-7.fc11.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run hellanzb 2. 3. Actual results: Depreciation warnings Expected results: Updated software Additional info:
Hellanzb's upstream is essentially dead (last commit to SVN was almost 2 years ago). What do you want me to do about this? To what extent is it broken (does it still run despite the warnings?)?
It still runs, but I presume the warnings are there because it won't at some point. If it's not maintainable, it really shouldn't be in the distribution.
It will still run on any python 2.6, then. When we move to python 3.0 (a *long* ways down the road) then it can be removed without my objection.
