Description Miro Hrončok 2018-09-10 15:38:05 UTC

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

 * python2-inotify_simple

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 remove them from your package.

As said in the change document, if there is no objection in a week, we will remove the package(s) as soon as we get to it. This change might not match your packaging style, so we'd prefer if you did the change. If you need more time, please let us know here.

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].

I don't know what do you mean by "importable" module.  It's ported for
both python2 and python3 (and it should work just fine).

> Please remove them from your package.

Maintenance of that subpackage costs me nothing, and I basically dislike
the forced Python 2 removal (if I don't mind maintaining that).

Feel free to drop that.  It should be one-liner (%bcond change).

Per [0] document:
> so far no one else has stepped up to maintain Python 2

Once/if anyone commits himself to maintain compat Python 2, I'll
re-enable.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2018-09-11 09:19:23 UTC

By importable module I mean the package provides only a Python library.

Do you want a if Fedora >= 30 in there or not?

Comment 3 Pavel Raiskup 2018-09-11 11:47:06 UTC

I don't mind, it's your decision what happens with Fedora then.  But please
keep the spec file buildable on epel7.

Comment 4 Pavel Raiskup 2018-09-11 11:48:30 UTC

Sorry, I've read 'unportable' instead of importable.
