The patch titled
Subject: scripts/spdxcheck.py: make python3 compliant
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
scripts-spdxcheck-make-python3-compliant.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: scripts/spdxcheck.py: make python3 compliant
Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6):
$ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py -
FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in <module>
parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-')
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines
line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and
the line can be dropped.
/usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3. So this would indeed be worth
going into 4.19.
