FTBFS: sugar.bundle.bundle.MalformedBundleException: Activity bundle /home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/source/pippy must specify either class or exec

Besides the still unfixed #2077, Pippy now fails with the following error:

Can you try building again from the latest pippy/mainline snapshot. I also used to get a deprecation warning that exec must be used instead of class, but the build never failed.

The relevant  commit is here.

have anyone tested with version 38 ?

Replying to m_anish:

Yes, the  commit that removed support for <code>class</code> was  reverted a day later because too many activities broke.

The relevant  commit is here.

Thanks! I can confirm that the latest git version of Pippy doesn't trigger the corresponding warnings.
