Description Miro Hrončok 2014-07-01 10:33:01 UTC
Previously, upstream of chardet kept separate codebase for Python 2 and 3. This has changed and they only keep one code for all.

I'm proposing to retire python3-chardet and build python3-chardet as a subpackage of python-chardet. The benefit is to keep things simple and have less work in future when updating.

I'm willing to do the necessary update of python-chardet if gained consent.

Great!

In principle, yes. I don't know the current state of the effort of using python3 as default. Maybe we would need to rename all python-* packages to python3-* and leave the python-* ones as "the ones using python2"?
Do you maybe know, how exactly this transition will go on?

I concur, please do the necessary update (if we won't have to re-review python3-chardet because of the above...).
Thanks! :)

I don't know exactly how the transition will work, but python- prefixed SRPMs are going to stay. Maybe both Python 2 and Python 3 packages would be a submodule of that  (rally just maybe), but I know that mergning python3-chardet and python-chardet to python-chardet is not a step aside.

s/submodule/subpackage

Ok, them I'm all in.

Kushal is also in favor (confirmed on IRC)

Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2014-07-02 16:05:06 UTC
Thomas, please go ahead and retire python3-chardet in pkgdb (I've done it in git):

$ pkgdb-cli orphan --retire python3-chardet master

Comment 8 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-07-02 16:37:17 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Done, thanks for working on it!
