Description Lumír Balhar 2019-08-14 05:25:02 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 module-build-service-copr'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 module-build-service-copr.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

Comment 4 Jakub Kadlčík 2019-09-05 11:08:29 UTC

We don't use `module-build-service-copr` package anymore and I don't think we will ever be. Should we just remove it @msuchy?

Comment 5 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-05 12:19:58 UTC

From our point of view, you can remove at least python2 subpackage. But, if you think that the whole package is useless, orphan/retire it in rawhide.

Comment 6 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-13 08:49:06 UTC

Should we orphan this package for you?

Comment 7 Lumír Balhar 2019-09-23 05:43:32 UTC

Miro, could we please retire this package?

Comment 8 Jakub Kadlčík 2019-09-23 07:49:12 UTC

> Miro, could we please retire this package?

I think, that it is a good idea. Nothing suggests, that we will ever use it again.
Thank you

Comment 9 Miro Hrončok 2019-09-23 08:41:55 UTC

Jakub, please do it than.

Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-01 11:06:28 UTC

Please?

Comment 11 Jakub Kadlčík 2019-10-01 11:31:37 UTC

Sorry it took me such a long time Miro. It is now deleted from f31 and master.

Comment 12 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-01 11:56:23 UTC

Thanks.
