Arch Linux

Description:

Hi packagers,

I use the duply + duplicity software, which is still using this old python2-boto; there is an outstanding bugfix to the last tagged version upstream which only exists on the `devel` branch - it appears after looking at their activity upstream has not actually released a year's worth of bugfixes to the master branch and popped a release. The one we need is this one:

https://github.com/boto/boto/pull/3843
https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/boto/boto/pull/3843.diff

I apparently patched this manually a long time ago and forgot about it, the recent python3 rebuild of this package (2.49.0-1 -> 2.49.0-3) undid my local patch but I didn't catch it so I started getting the errors again in my logs and went back down this rabbit hole to re-fix it, as I use Google Cloud Storage as a backend datastore.

Re-applying this PR diff directly (no edits) re-fixed my problem and my backups are working again. (I really should look at my logs more it was telling me it was broken for over a month. :() So, I'd like to see if we can get this added to our Arch package since upstream has basically walked away from the project and moved on to their boto3 newer version (no commits since March 2019, even to devel).

Thanks,
-te


Additional Information:

Here's the collected software stack which is emitted to the logs by duplicity:

Using installed duplicity version 0.7.19, python 2.7.17 (/usr/bin/python2), gpg 2.2.19 (Home: /home/tengel/.gnupg), awk 'GNU Awk 5.0.1, API: 2.0 (GNU MPFR 4.0.2, GNU MP 6.1.2)', grep 'grep (GNU grep) 3.3', bash '5.0.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)'.
