Firefox does not build yet with Python2: Upstream Python3 migration notes [1]: "In mozilla-central there are over 3500 Python files (excluding third party files), comprising roughly 230k lines of code. Most of it is Python 2" [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Python_3_Migration If python2.7 is removed from Fedora we'd need to bundle it with Firefox sources as well as we do that for firefox on RHEL6. Perhaps we don't need system wide python in this case. We're not going to port Firefox build scripts to python3 as we have lot of other work to do. Thanks for the wiki link and sharing the plans! In Fedora, it would make sense to continue maintaining the python2 package separately, rather than bundle it in Firefox. But we do want to track the situation, gather info and coordinate (and we use these bugzillas and FESCo exceptions for that). This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle. Changing version to 33. I see that this is fixed at least in the Rawhide build. Thank you! I see that as of 87.0-10.fc35, firefox again requires python2.7 to build. I guess this was a case of temporarily skipped tests. This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '33'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle. Changing version to 36. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '36'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. It's still there. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '38'.

If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21. Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Still relevant. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle. Changing version to 42. Cf. 8f2d837 Use python3 instead of python2 for build https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/frantisekz/rpms/firefox/c/8f2d837931dae4d3dccb32e9cf980995caaccd45 Do you mind to create a patch for Fedora package? Thanks. I'm afraid I don't know what needs changing, I just found that commit and this bug while looking for other things. |
