Description Lumír Balhar 2019-08-08 12:07:34 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 git-remote-bzr's future. Specifically:


- 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?) 

- 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 git-remote-bzr.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

Hi guys,
I have limited time now and I will rather spend it with mercurial (and related packages), which is obviously more important. I am nowadays thinking more about orphanage. I will look at it next week after.

Comment 6 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-03 10:11:15 UTC

This package is a leaf so you can also retire it. But better would be to orphan it sooner than later so somebody interested might start maintaining it.

Comment 7 Petr Stodulka 2019-09-03 11:37:48 UTC

I think that somebody would like to take it, so I will just orphan it. I am still in rush after my PTOs out of hands of technologies but I will do it in upcoming days.

Comment 8 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-11 08:32:12 UTC

Could you please orphan this package?

Comment 9 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-18 12:09:19 UTC

Could you please orphan this package?

Comment 10 Petr Stodulka 2019-09-18 12:33:11 UTC

Yes. I apologize for delaytion. I have been sick for a while.

Comment 11 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-24 19:36:26 UTC

Automation has figured out the package is retired in rawhide.

If you like it to be unretired, please open a ticket at https://pagure.io/releng/new_issue?template=package_unretirement
