Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2020-10-20 13:10:20 UTC 
asciidoc fails to build with Python 3.10.0a1.

This report is automated and not very verbose, but we'll try to get back here with details.

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.10/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01705809-asciidoc/

For all our attempts to build asciidoc with Python 3.10, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/package/asciidoc/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.10:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.10 will be included in Fedora 35. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.10.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.

Currently we do not know what is the reason of the failure.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2020-10-30 11:14:33 UTC 
I've tried to reproduce in mock to see the actual error:

<mock-chroot> bash-5.0$ "/builddir/build/BUILD/asciidoc-py3-9.0.2/asciidoc.py" --backend docbook -a "a2x-format=manpage"  --doctype manpage  --out-file "/builddir/build/BUILD/asciidoc-py3-9.0.2/doc/asciidoc.1.xml" "/builddir/build/BUILD/asciidoc-py3-9.0.2/doc/asciidoc.1.txt"
asciidoc: FAILED: Python 3.5 or better required


Seems like this is a bad version detection:

        if float(sys.version[:3]) < float(MIN_PYTHON_VERSION):
            message.stderr('FAILED: Python %s or better required' % MIN_PYTHON_VERSION)
            sys.exit(1)
