Description Miro Hrončok 2019-10-13 12:01:15 UTC 
In line with the Mass Python 2 Package Removal [0], the following (sub)packages of rpm were marked for removal:

 * python2-rpm

According to our query, those (sub)packages only provide a Python 2 importable module. If this is not true, please tell us why, so we can fix our query.

Please remove them from your package in Rawhide (Fedora 32).

Please don't remove packages from Fedora 31, it is past Beta Freeze.
Please don't do this for Fedora 30/29 either, removing packages from a released Fedora branch is forbidden.

As said in the change document, if there is no objection in a week, we will remove the package(s) as soon as we get to it. This change might not match your packaging style, so we'd prefer if you did the change. If you need more time, please let us know here.

If you do the change yourself, it would help us a lot by reducing the amount of packages we need to mass change.

We hope this doesn't come to you as a surprise. If you want to know our motivation for this, please read the change document [0].

I'll drop python2-rpm so fast your head will spin once mach gets out of the way :)
I actually have a calendar reminder to check back on its status at beginning of November (ie orphan process should've run its course by then) if I don't hear anything on it / miss some bugzilla emails.
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-14 08:12:31 UTC 
The retirement of mach should happen on (or after) 2019-10-17.
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-17 11:12:25 UTC 
Go, go, go...

P.S. 2002 is the closest approximation of Python 2 support in rpm that I could easily find
P.P.S Probably wasn't fast enough to make your head spin as promised, but the ARM builders spin painfully slow :(
P.P.P.S. Thanks for all your effort on this front

Panu, you made my day!
