Description Terje Røsten 2018-06-06 13:57:17 UTC
Description of problem:

https://bitbucket.org/ambv/configparser/src

configparser 3.5.0 has been release, please upgrade from
3.5.0b2 to 3.5.0.

Note: due to package error (including b postfix in package version),
you have to use epoch:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 3.5.0b2 3.5.0
3.5.0b2 > 3.5.0

$ rpmdev-vercmp 3.5.0b2 1:3.5.0
3.5.0b2 < 1:3.5.0

to make upgrade work.

Release is here:

 https://bitbucket.org/ambv/configparser/src

Comment 1 José Matos 2018-08-27 23:01:49 UTC
That can be done.

The other option instead of using an epoch would be to wait for a later release, e.g. for 3.5.1:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 3.5.0b2 3.5.1
3.5.0b2 < 3.5.1

Looking again for this package I can not understand why there is a python3 sub-package. The description is clear:

"The ancient ConfigParser module available in the standard library 2.x
has seen a major update in Python 3.2. This package is a backport of
those changes so that they can be used directly in Python 2.6 - 3.5."

Worse than that is that (on F28):
# dnf repoquery --whatrequires python3-configparser
...
bugwarrior-0:1.5.1-6.fc28.noarch
copr-backend-0:1.118.git.2.74f5e274-1.fc28.noarch
copr-rpmbuild-0:0.20-1.fc28.noarch
python3-copr-0:1.90-1.fc28.noarch
python3-doit-0:0.30.3-3.fc28.noarch
rpkg-0:2.3-1.fc28.noarch

So that we should notify those packages to drop the python3-configparser requirement.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '27'.

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 27 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.

This also prevent Sage-math from being launched, see bug 1663158

Proposed updated spec file

Since this is breaking sagemath in a stable distribution, we need to fix it ASAP.  Attached is a proposed spec file to update to the latest released version of configparser.  I propose that this be built for all current Fedora versions (i.e., F28 through F31), since all of them have a version of entrypoints that requires a newer version of configparser.
