Description Miro Hrončok 2019-08-29 11:48:29 UTC

swift-lang fails to build with Python 3.8.0b3 in Fedora 32.

See the build failures at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=glob&type=package&terms=swift-lang

AttributeError: module 'platform' has no attribute 'linux_distribution'


platform.linux_distribution has been deprecated since version 3.5, and was removed in version 3.8: See alternative like the distro package. https://pypi.org/project/distro


If this package won't build with 3.8, it won't be installable, along with all its dependent packages, in Fedora 32 and further.

Furthermore, as it fails to install, its dependent packages will fail to install and/or build as well.

Please rebuild the package in Fedora 32 (rawhide).

Let us know here if you have any questions. Thank You!

What's funny is I was testing the fix for this very thing when this ticket came in. It has been fixed; scratch build results are available at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=37348234.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-09-18 16:06:48 UTC

Ron, could you please push the fix?

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-09-19 10:17:56 UTC

Thanks.
