Description Miro Hrončok 2019-11-28 01:04:04 UTC

In line with the Retire Python 2 Fedora change [0], all (sub)packages of mailman were marked for removal.

There was no FESCo exception for this package.

Please retire your package in Rawhide (Fedora 32).

Please don't remove packages from Fedora 31/30/29, removing packages from a released Fedora branch is forbidden and out of scope of this request.

If there is no objection in a week, we will retire the package for you.

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].

This text is automated. We are sorry if you already communicated with us about this in another place.

Pavel, did you continue with porting Mailman 2 to Python 3 as you mentioned in bug #1738082 comment #1?

Yes, I work on it and work is progressing but slowly. There are quite few issues (one of them is the fact upstream supports mailman 3 which is python 3) so ported mailman 2 will be mostly fork :( I'm thinking about retiring original mailman in Fedora and introduce mailman2 package instead

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2020-01-01 21:39:56 UTC

JFYI I am planning on retiring this package on Monday, 2020-01-06, if not already done by then. Request a FESCo exception by then (or report back the package is no longer depending on Python 2) if you wish to stop the procedure. Thanks

Hi Miro.

Please don't do it on Monday, I need more time to sync with Pavel, because he is on PTO until Monday and my understanding was that he asked for exception.

Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2020-01-03 10:17:40 UTC

No, he has not. I will hold the retirement then. Please, get back to me next week.

Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2020-01-28 14:46:22 UTC

Note that this is currently blocked via this exception request that will expire in 4 days https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2312

If there is no update in the exception request by the end of January, this package will be retired.

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2020-02-11 17:24:14 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle.
Changing version to 32.

Comment 9 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-03-03 14:41:31 UTC

There is a FESCo exception: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2312
