This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to 31. Please answer the above questions. If you don't the package can be orphaned: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages If you need any information or help, please let us know. I'm sorry, but threatening to orphan the package a week after opening the bug report is a bit antisocial. I need to take a look at this because I don't actually know the answers yet, but it will probably be a few weeks before I have the spare cycles to deal with it. I understand you completely but we also need to gather some responses for all components and we have hundreds of bugs without any. We don't orphan the component immediately (see the nonresponsive policy in the change description). The current plan is to remove packages with dependency on Python 2 from Fedora 32 in the middle of November 2019. If you want to keep your package in Fedora after that date and you cannot port it to Python 3 yet, you need to request a FESCo exception for the package and all its Python 2 dependencies (even transitive) [1]. If you don't want to maintain it anymore, and nothing in Fedora uses it, you can retire it or just remove the Python 2 part from it (subpackage, module, bindings, etc.). If you're considering filing the exception request, let us know. We can help (for example, we can help find all the dependencies). [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2#FESCo_exceptions I understand, but you're putting pressure on me to look at this now, and, being quite frank, this shouldn't be urgent. I wasn't even aware that lizardfs had a python dependency, given that it's a fuse filesystem mainly written in C++. I'm currently getting on a flight to be with my family for a funeral, so I am not going to look at this until next week at the earliest. Again, while I understand (and commend) your desire to retire python 2, it shouldn't translate into urgent work for everybody else. Just because it's in the change description doesn't mean it's the right way to treat our packagers. Hello, This is not urgent. You have time until November. Thank you for responding. There are hundreds of bugs where the packager doesn't respond, and is then surprised when a package is removed or has missing dependencies. We want to give out the warning early. Sorry for wording it too harshly. It's difficult to find wording that works for everyone. We'll try to not to nag you about lizardfs until November. (But that also means you won't get any more warnings, unless you ask.) If you need more time than that, let us know. Ok, I've investigated and it turns out the cgi servers are written in Python 2. Converting them to Python 3 was pretty simple, so I've gone ahead and done so, and pushed the update to Rawhide. Good luck on the Python 2 retirement! https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=37256602 |
