Description Tomas Orsava 2016-04-01 16:19:45 UTC

Upstream, this software supports Python 3. Please provide a Python 3
package for Fedora.


According to the Python packaging guidelines [0], software must be
packaged for Python 3 if upstream supports it.
The guidelines give detailed information on how to do this, and even
provide an example spec file [1].

The current best practice is to provide subpackages for the two Python
versions (called "Common SRPM" in the guidelines). Alternatively, if
nothing depends on your Python2 package, you can just switch to Python 3
entirely.

It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well.


If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance with the
porting, you can ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here.
We'll be happy to help!

"gmpy 1.17 is the final release of the 1.x series. No further updates are planned. All further development is occurring in the 2.x series, also known as gmpy2. Please see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gmpy2/ for the latest 2.x releases."

We do have python-gmpy2 and python3-gmpy2 in Fedora. Do we really need a py3 version of its predecessor? gmpy is still in Fedora merely for compatibility reasons.

Also, given that the py2 package is named "gmpy", do you suggest to rename that, too?

Comment 2 Tomas Orsava 2016-04-05 08:47:16 UTC

Thank you for the info and I apologize for the mistaken report, our automated systems aren't faultless. I'll mark gmpy as deprecated by python-gmpy2 so that this doesn't happen again.

Have a great day!
