Please port to python3

[raveit65]

Fedora will switch to python3 with fedora 30.

Fedora 30 System-Wide Change proposal: Mass Python 2 Package Removal
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/QRXWWZ2QG7JSZMAXNI6M6QMWV2XPCINM/

At this time we can't build nautilus-dropbox and the subpackages for caja- and nemo-file-browser at rpmfusion build-servers for fedora any more.
Of course your own builds for fedora won't work with fedora 30.
Currently fedora 29 is branched from fedora rawhide branch. That means building nautilus-dropbox at master branch for rpmfusion stopped working now.

Upstream report:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5014

Please port to python3.

Best regards

Hi - thanks for the report. I'll file something internally.

[raveit65]

Any progress?

[nipunn1313]

Work is scheduled but has not begun.
We're thinking about it as a task that's necessary before Fedora 30 GA (2019-03-26)

[raveit65]

Thanks,
f30 beta freeze is at 2019-03-05 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/30/Schedule
But python3 will be removed earlier from build-servers, probably when f30 will be branched from rawhide branch.

Ok, this is almost done by now... what's left is porting rst2man.py.

I know that isn't related to nautilus-dropbox but why dropbox writes (non-error-messages) to .xsession-errors log without reason?

This is now completely done as of 895e132

@raveit65 those are the logs that dropbox writes to stderr. I can update dropbox so it's silent by default on startup unless there's a certain environmental variable set. Is there a standard for env vars like that? Otherwise I'll use DROPBOX_STARTUP_VERBOSE=1. (Closing the issue since this is unrelated, but feel free to reply on this issue.)

[raveit65]

@samertm
First, Thanks for the new release.
Those logs doesn't belongs in ~/.xsession-errors because they are not error logs.
Normal run time log messages shouldn't spam an error log.

Maybe you like to have a fix for using python2-doc-utils?
I can do a PR with that code from our fork caja-dropbox?
mate-desktop/caja-dropbox@3d48c5e

Also , is there a chance to add file-browser extension code for caja and nemo filebrowser, to avoid code duplication?
See what we do at rpmfusion for fedora.
Here only nautilus-dropbox ships the dropbox binary and /usr/share/ dir.
http://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/nautilus-dropbox.git/tree/nautilus-dropbox.spec#n59
For caja-dropbox and nemo-dropbox we delete the binary during rpm building, and both packages simply requires nautilus-dropbox.
http://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/caja-dropbox.git/tree/caja-dropbox.spec#n28
http://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/caja-dropbox.git/tree/caja-dropbox.spec#n51
(same for nemo-dropbox at rpmfusion)
In result all 3 packages can be installed together and don't create a file conflict.
Caja and nemo are forks from nautilus for MATE and Cinnamon desktop.

Fixes for docutils stuff are already here, 3ec3a5c and 7cfb92a.
