The Makefile for misc/calibre currently says PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE+= 310 311 # as of 5.40.0 Since I was rebuilding everything on my own machine with python 3.10 anyway, I tried calibre with that version. It builds without complaint. There might be run-time problems, but in a quick check of "calibre" and "ebook-viewer" I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I would propose to remove the 310 from the limitation. Not 311 yet since I have not tried it (but I suspect there would not really be issues). If we run into something in the packaged calibre (5.44.0) that has problems with python 3.10, I would rather add a patch than restrict the python version. Updating calibre itself is, afaik, not yet possible, since it switches to Qt6 and we don't have (at least) the Qt6 version of qt6-webengine packaged. Any objections? Anyone wants to test with python for workgroups^W^W 3.11? -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert <rhialto/at/falu.nl> \X/ There is no AI. There is just someone else's work. --I. Rose
