Description Nacho Barrientos 2016-11-29 09:32:08 UTC

Hi,

Could GitPython be updated to a newer version on EPEL7? We're hitting a bug [0][1] that's present in 1.0.1-5 and that should be fixed in newer versions, like 1.0.2.

Thanks.

I checked and updating software with existing .spec file seems to build just fine.

Comment 2 Nacho Barrientos 2016-11-30 07:03:19 UTC

It'd be cool if you could go for 2.1.0 instead (latest upstream) as 1.0.2 contains a very ugly regression [0]. Thanks.

Comment 3 Nacho Barrientos 2016-12-02 09:10:15 UTC

Same about 2.1.0, seems to build fine.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2021-03-27 21:09:54 UTC

So, we can't go to 3.x as that's where there is no more python2 support. 

So, the latest 2.x is 2.1.15. It needs a patch to build against python3 (due to python3 requires changes), but thats easy enough:

Can you all look at this scratch build and see if it works for you?

If so, I can push out an official update.

Comment 5 Carl George 🤠 2022-04-19 04:11:03 UTC

Updating from the current version 1.0.1 to version 2.x.x involves breaking changes [0].  That is normally not allowed by EPEL policy [1], unless someone wants to put in the work to go through the incompatible upgrade process [2].

In the meantime, I've opened a pull request [3] to update the epel7 package to version 1.0.2, including a patch to fix the regression Nacho mentioned.
