Description Miro Hrončok 2018-09-10 13:54:33 UTC

In line with the Mass Python 2 Package Removal [0], all (sub)packages of python-rsslib were marked for removal:

 * python2-rsslib

According to our query, those packages only provide a Python 2 importable module. If this is not true, please tell us why, so we can fix our query.

Please retire your package in Rawhide (Fedora 30).

If there is no objection in a week, we will retire the package for you.

We hope this doesn't come to you as a surprise. If you want to know our motivation for this, please read the change document [0].

Why are we removing Python 2?  That seems the bigger problem.

Comment 2 Conrad Meyer 2018-09-10 15:29:32 UTC

This one is likely easy to convert to Py3 if someone was interested.  I don't use Python 3 myself.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2018-09-10 15:30:58 UTC

We are not removing Python 2 yet, we are mass removing python2 packages. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal for the "whys" and "hows".

Feel free to change to Python 3. Otherwise please retire the package.

I don't see the distinction.  An interpreter without any packages is fairly useless.

I saw that, but it hardly justifies such a large change.

> Feel free to change to Python 3. Otherwise please retire the package.

Again, I don't use Python3 and don't feel strongly about rsslib.  I am leaving this one to you Python2 deletionists.  I just noted that someone interested in Py3 could probably adapt easily.

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2018-09-10 15:47:25 UTC

OK. Thanks.

Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2018-09-17 09:25:33 UTC

Will retire today.

Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2018-09-17 12:55:20 UTC

Retired in rawhide.
