Iris and mopidy 3

General
1

I am running mopidy 2.3.1 and Iris on raspbian buster. It support python 3.7.4 but I suppose I can’t update to mopidy v.3 as long as Iris doesn’t switch to python 3.
Should I “pin” all mopidy and plugin packages to keep them at current version?

I think that a simple sudo apt-mark hold mopidy should be enough, as all the other packages depend on mopidy >= 3 and cannot be upgraded unless mopidy is upgraded too.

Thanks jodal.
I applied that hold and it seems the right one. Just a question, the system still asks me to update python-spotify. Is it safe to go on?

Yes, that can safely be upgraded. It’ll still work with Mopidy 2 and Mopidy-Spotify 3.

This is a good question for the faq (surprised this is the first occurance).
