The software is written in Python2.

Will plan to review the code and migrate to Python3 by early December 2019.

We do not have anyone who knows the project and willing to migrate. But
will plan to find someone who could help.

Thanks for the info.

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

Here is an example exception request: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2208

gdeploy needs these Python 2 packages:
- python2-setuptools
- python2-pyyaml

Check with their maintainers if they want to keep maintaining the python2 parts, and request the exception for them as well.

The python2-setuptools maintainer will most likely ask you to co-maintain the package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1747850

I've seen some updates for Fedora 30 that claim to port this to Python 3. Thanks! Does it work?

Could you please do this in Fedora rawhide? Note that it is probably not possible to build the same package version-release on rawhide and Fedora 31 and Fedora 30 due to this change:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdeploy/c/ba834ba2dea953df5f257619f79b7cf1115cca03?branch=master

Would you like me to fix the release tags and do the builds?

Yes, it does work. I have tested a few cases.

I can do the builds. I tried earlier, as you said it complained that build is already present.
I'll change the release number and do another build. Thanks.

I've built the package for rawhide.
