Description Dan Radez 2018-04-20 14:58:26 UTC

Description of problem:
Package versions are old.

python3-cherrypy.noarch                 8.9.1-2.fc27
python-cherrypy.noarch                  3.5.0-6.fc27
python-cherrypy2.noarch                 2.3.0-25.fc27

The current version of the package upstream is 14.x


I tried to contact lmacken. History shows him to be the last person that updated this package but I haven't gotten a response.

I did a scratch build of a version 14 code base here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26357307

What's the process to get a package version updated when you don't have contact with the package maintainer?

Well, you can start the inactive maintainer process.

I'm not sure how to view package ACLs anymore, but potentially a co-maintainer could approve a Pagure pull request.

I see two new dependencies coming in:
https://github.com/cherrypy/cherrypy/blob/master/setup.py#L62-L63

cheroot: https://github.com/cherrypy/cheroot
portend: https://pypi.org/project/portend/

For building: jaraco also required (docs requirement only)

Comment 3 Matthias Runge 2018-04-23 07:38:51 UTC

To add here: packaging policy forbids to do such substantial upgrade for stable releases. However, it would be good to get it upgraded for rawhide and maybe for f28 (may be too late as well).
