Description Miro Hrončok 2013-10-02 10:37:16 UTC

Congratulations! Your package has been chosen as a MUST to be updated to Python 3 :)

The goal here is, that this package uses Python 3 as default.

And how to do it? Follows those easy steps:

1. Check if upstream already support Python 3, if yes, use it
2. If upstream doesn't support Python 3 yet, encourage it to do so by sending patches and offering your help, then go to 1.

If you end up in infinite loop, there's something broken. I.e. upstream is dead or unwilling to support Python 3. In that case, you'll need to patch this package on Fedora level. Try to avoid this as much as you can, but use it, if it's the last option.

Chances are, that you ARE the upstream. In that case, everything is easier, just do it yourself.

Once Python 3 is supported, check your package, if it works with it. If you don't want to switch to Python 3 yet as a default (that's still against guidelines), I recommend to prepare your spec and conditionalize the thing with something like %global default_python 2.

There is a table on wiki, that should list your package. Chances are, that you can see an upstream link that covers the problem. Anyway, please update the table with information you know.

And, of course, if you need help, that's why I am here :)

(As you've already realized, this is a bulk text, so if something is not quite exact about your package, sorry for that, just ask)

And I forgot to say, the goal is for Fedora 22.

Comment 2 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2013-10-02 22:15:59 UTC

Note: do not follow this piece of advice as it is against the Packaging Guidelines: "When upstream is dead or unwilling to support Python 3, you'll need to patch this package on Fedora level. Try to avoid this as much as you can, but use it, if it's the last option."

If you are in this situation, you'll essentially be forking upstream in order to produce a python3 port.  In that situation, the proper thing to do is to create a new package with the python3 port.  It would be even better to create the proper upstream infrastructure as well (new upstream scm and issue tracker) but that isn't 100% required by the guidelines.

Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2013-10-28 14:38:45 UTC

firewalld is 100% python3 compatible since last week.

There is a bug in the python3 dbus bindings though: #1023985

With this bug the memory usage of firewalld is growing and there are lots of objects marked as garbage.
