Bug 255721

This doesn't appear to be (either only, or at all) a 'Python 3.8 support' issue.

Workaround in bug 257519 comment 0

So I can literally say I had spent over 100 hours (not consecutively obviously) trying to update this port.  It has been a real pain.  

I submitted the bug https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/1621 which was the major issue on why the port was not updated.

Honestly, I gave up.  The lead dev admitted he doesn't have time for Guake anymore so it's all but abandoned, at least on halt for now.  The last release was February of 2020.

After speaking with koobs on IRC, we agreed to try and work on it this weekend to try and find a solution.

The mentioned links points to an entire file. Can you clarify what exactly it was seen/observed regarding "On the last guake release on github it's fixed " that made you believe this specific issue was resolved upstream, and in a release?

This is a solution to a problem, but the bigger problem lies in why the port is not updated as described in my bug report to the project.

I understood

Sorry it's late and I'm not trying to sound rude.  The frustration this gave me when it happened was pretty bad.  Let me work with koobs this weekend and I'll see if I can find a solution

Don't be rude, you're upset, I understand you.

I said that its related with the python version due the initial error of the stack trace is "platform module has no attribute linux_distribution".
The last python version that has suport for "linux_distrubution" was 3.7 https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution

If you check the last version of the utils file it don't have any references to "linux_distribution" https://github.com/Guake/guake/blob/master/guake/utils.py

This is most likely not the finished product, but I have started a review for the updated port.

I only have Python 3.7 on my system, and it's too late for me to go through the whole process of building 3.8 which would require rebuilding a ton of packages on my build server which is an 8th Gen I7 Intel NUC.

This runs fine for me on Python 3.7: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D31371

I will attach the diff as well.  If you wish to confirm the issue you guys mentioned still exists, let me know.  If not I'll try and test more tomorrow (Sunday evening).
