See https://github.com/esheldon/esutil/issues/17

It looks like v0.6.0 is now out and compatible with python 3: https://github.com/esheldon/esutil/releases/tag/v0.6.0

Builds fine for me on python 3. Please remember to tag it when you merge.

What tag are you referring to? the eups version tag? I am not sure how to do that.

$ git checkout master

$ git merge --no-ff tickets/DM-7294

$ git push

$ git tag -a 0.6.0

$ git push --tags

ah ok, its just a git tag, good to know. I will read over the link before merging just to be sure I cover everything

Changes look ok. But...

I noticed all this guff in eupspkg.cfg.sh. This seems like it's unnecessary, since esutil 0.6 doesn't ship with its own table file as far as I can see. Can we drop it?

I checked into this as well, and ran it through ci with the prep function removed. If you agree with the latest change then I will merge.

merged to master
