Description Tomas Orsava 2019-11-26 15:42:47 UTC

The non-modular component python-rpm-generators contains machinery that automatically generates Provides and Requires tags for all Python RPM packages (Python 3.6 and Python 2.7).

However, the Provides and Requires tags that need to be generated for new Python 3.8 packages in the python38 module are different.

Thus we need to set the non-modular component python-rpm-generators to ignore Python 3.8 packages. This should be a non-invasive change with respect to other RHEL8 packages.

TlDr: python38 (sub)packages and packages build with python38 cannot provide 'python3dist(*)'.
Such packages can and should contain provide 'python38dist(*)
Reason being it is added only for the _main_ python of the distro.

Acceptance criteria:
- All packages of python38 module provide 'python38dist(*)'
- No package of python38 module provide 'python3dist(*)'
- Package build using python38 module provide 'python38dist(*)'
- Package build using python38 module does not provide 'python3dist(*)'
- Python36 is not affected so still holds that
  - Package build using platform-python does provide 'python3dist(*)'

Just a small correction, it's `python3.8dist(*)`.

I would say *most* packages. There are a few packages that don't have EGG/DIST-INFO and thus don't generate the Provides, which is acceptable. However, most packages should have it.

+1!

Comment 6 sturivny 2020-01-22 14:30:08 UTC

I see that gating.yaml file exists and valid
https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/python-rpm-generators/raw/rhel-8.2.0/f/gating.yaml
package is gated by test-cases: ['baseos-ci.brew-build.tier1.functional']

Moving this bug to CLOSED state with resolution CURRENTRELEASE

Comment 7 Lukáš Zachar 2020-01-31 10:19:36 UTC

Reopening as this is not a gating bug but a proper feature one.

Comment 9 sturivny 2020-03-26 10:24:34 UTC

Close this bug. This package is gated and has valid gating.yaml
