Replace the dead appdirs dependency by platformdirs #811

Closed mwerlen closed 7 months ago

mwerlen commented 8 months ago

Hello,

python3-appdirs has been announced as dead upstream and its Debian maintainer has indicated that it should not be included in trixie (the next stable release). A recommended replacement is python3-platformdirs, which is a fork of appdirs with a very similar API.

I've prepared this MR to apply the recommanded easy replacement. This change conserve the path of the cache and config dirs.

The doc still mentions the the outdated appdirs: https://github.com/thp/urlwatch/blob/17d02c44e909b719b2b050b1c67cdbcf7d5fd0d8/docs/source/dependencies.rst?plain=1#L26
