Bug 1374923

OK, I will look into this when I will find a time window... I'm currently engaged in other important stuff.

I'm not sure for F25, but I think I should be able to fix this at least for F26.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

seriously?

reported 2016 for Fedora 24 and now F28 still pulls python2, python2-libs, python2-pip and python2-setuptools for a 197 KB package - only the fact that all the python crap pulls "pip" is a joke - nobody needs that when running distribution packages

Yeah, seriously. What to you expect me to do? To take over the whole upstream project and rewrite it into Python3? The pull-request issue for this in the upstream is still open (for 2 years now):
https://github.com/dagwieers/dstat/issues/118

I'm only maintaining the package here, I have other more important obligations somewhere else.

So please, take your rants somewhere else, unless you have something meaningful to add to the discussion. Or better, you can help Fedora dealing with this instead - I can provide you the commit rights. :)

Have a nice day!

what about asking the python people for help instead a year of silence?

> I'm only maintaining the package here

yeah, i am only the user here and guess what: i remove dstat from all machines because of that issue
