Description Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-02-27 16:13:48 UTC

Python 2 reached upstream end-of-life in January 2020. In Fedora Rawhide, it's now provided from the compat package `python27`.
Packages that only use Python 2 at build time, like mozjs52, had a general exception to keep using it in Fedora 31. Now, the dependency should be removed.

I guess this compat package could get an exception, similarly to mozjs60 and mozjs68:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2249
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2264

But I don't know the package, so I'm asking you, the maintainers, to provide details on what needs mozjs52 and what the plans for it are in Fedora.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.

Comment 3 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2020-10-02 20:22:02 UTC

Package was retired.
