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, or if you need some more time, please let us know. 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, or if you need some more time, please let us know. 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, or if you need some more time, please let us know. According to the procedure described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages the package was now orphaned. If you think it was a mistake, you can provide the answers and claim the package back. Let us know if you need any help or just need more time. Hello, We have already discussed this topic in April. Orphaning the package for Fabian not responding is just silly. I would like to claim the package back if Fabian is not available. > - What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build system or test runner?) Upstream has plans to switch to python3, but it is not working well yet with the current stable release 0.9.19 >- What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3? Plan is to have it ready before python2 is deprecated - ie for the next release 0.9.20 https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/issues/663 >- 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?) It is not easy task as it was implementing many binary protocols using strings, which needs to be translated to binarrays. I believe it is better task for upstream. Michal Ambroz Upstream just released the 0.9.20 release with support for python3. Working on packaging it. Anything new here? I've talked to Michal in person during LinuxDays in Prague. The spec needs adapting, preferably to work single-spec an all versions. His time to work on this is limited, so maybe we can send a PR if we want to unblock pyOpenSSL. |
