[gpsd-dev] [PATCH 2/2] Adds comment to regress-builder about its current


From: Fred Wright
Subject: [gpsd-dev] [PATCH 2/2] Adds comment to regress-builder about its current brokenness.
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 16:29:30 -0700

This is the last remaining included Python program that isn't
compatible with Python 3, and it doesn't make sense to fix that
unless someone is motivated to fix its general outdatedness.

TESTED:
No.
