Description Miro Hrončok 2019-02-03 12:17:22 UTC 
In line with the Mass Python 2 Package Removal [0], the following (sub)packages of python-ldaptor were marked for removal:

 * python2-ldaptor

According to our query, those (sub)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.

If you do the change yourself, it would help us a lot by reducing the amount of packages we need to mass change.

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].

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-02-03 12:19:00 UTC 
Note that python-ldaptor-tools requires python2-ldaptor. Upstream master supports Python 3, so please make a switch.
Also, there is a Fedora package, python-matrix-synapse-ldap3, that has this in the spec:

	
%check
# ldaptor isn't packaged for Python 3
#PYTHONPATH=. trial-3 tests
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-02-11 14:10:12 UTC 
Week has passed. I'd still rather see this switched to python3. Is there a chance, or should I retire?
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-02-26 12:38:42 UTC 
The beta freeze is at 2019-03-05. if the python3 subpackage is not added until then, I'll retire the package ~1 day before the freeze.
Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2019-03-04 15:30:28 UTC 
Retired.
Comment 5 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 04:46:11 UTC
