Description Felix Schwarz 2020-04-28 15:02:30 UTC
In order to get python-certbot-dns-digitalocean in EPEL8 we need a python-digitalocean package. Please let me know if I should provide a pull request.

Comment 1 Gwyn Ciesla 2020-05-14 15:36:10 UTC
We still lack python3-demjson, python3-feedparser, and python3-setuptools_scm >= 3.4.1 in EPEL. However, python3-setuptools_scm is a RHEL package, so may not be able to be updated.

Comment 2 Felix Schwarz 2020-05-14 21:51:28 UTC
I don't see things as bleak: Most of the dependencies are just optional and the tests will skip them. I'll try to come up with some changesets in a local branch for review (may take a few days though). Afterwards you could create an EPEL 8 branch and I'll submit a merge request.

Comment 3 Gwyn Ciesla 2020-05-14 21:55:01 UTC
Sounds like a plan.

Comment 4 Felix Schwarz 2020-05-15 08:41:12 UTC
This was easier than expected: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/fschwarz/rpms/python-jsonpickle/tree/epel8

From what I saw in the jsonpickle repo you would treat EPEL branches separately from the Fedora branches (separate commits) so I just started without a history and tried to make the spec file as clean as possible instead of trying to use a single spec file in Fedora+EPEL (with regular branch merges). Of course I could also change that approach to a unified spec file.

Building in mock needs an extra step currently because zstd was retired in EPEL (provided by RHEL Base) but is not yet available in CentOS: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/MFZCRQCULJALRIJJFSSAETSDZ4RL6GCU/

You can work around the issue by extending /etc/mock/templates/epel-8.tpl with the EPEL 8.1 snapshot repo:

[epel81-archive]
name=EPEL 8.1 archive
baseurl=https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/8.1/Everything/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///usr/share/distribution-gpg-keys/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-8

$ fedpkg --release=epel8 mockbuild --enablerepo=epel81-archive
