Description Lumír Balhar 2019-07-19 10:36:19 UTC

Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime.
Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages
Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2

To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for driconf's future. Specifically:

- What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3?

- What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is someone who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know anything about the particular package, what are the next steps to take?)


This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context specific to driconf.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

The last release is from 2013 so I am not sure how much active this project is.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2019-07-20 19:05:20 UTC

Yep. I am fine retiring this package. There is now adriconf which has a lot more settings, supports gtk3/wayland, etc... 

Just let me know when or feel free to retire it yourself.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-22 09:20:07 UTC

Retired. Thanks.
