Description Ling Li 2019-10-17 20:58:12 UTC

Please build python-backcall for EPEL 8, which is a prerequisite for ipython (Bug 1758271).  The component is not in Fedora EPEL yet so I am filing the bug against Fedora.  Since ipython stopped supporting Python 2.7, I think it's fine to just package the python3 part.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-17 22:32:31 UTC

Will you maintain the EPEL 8 version?

Comment 2 Ling Li 2019-10-17 22:46:29 UTC

I can try.  I use Python in my daily work and I know some about the rpm .spec files.

With that said, I am not sure what the learning curve (of being a maintainer) would be and whether it is worth the effort of someone guiding me through the initial process e.g. permission set up, especially for this simple package (which I just checked contains only three files).

Anyway, if you think it's worth the effort, please let me know how to proceed.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-17 22:57:01 UTC

Oh, I haven't realized you are not a Fedora/EPEL packager yet.

I'm not interested in maintaining this package in EPEL 8. I also don't have free cycles to guide you trough it, I'm sorry.

Since this is blocking ipython, I bet Carl or Orion might be willing to take this... ?

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2019-10-17 23:05:49 UTC

I can help out and requested the branch. 

Ling - I would encourage you to become a packager - we need all the help we can get.

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-17 23:17:09 UTC

I've added you explicitly as co-maintainer.
