This is a weak dependency for the python-ryu package, which I am in the process of rehabilitating after it was orphaned and FTBFS.

This package was previously in Fedora as a Python-2-only package and was retired. This review is for unretirement with a completely rewritten Python-3-only spec file. A releng ticket for unretirement and adoption will be opened once the re-review is completed.

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2021-01-15 16:22:40 UTC
I have given up on fixing python-ryu and orphaned it again, but I still think unretiring this package is worthwhile.

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-03-15 16:45:47 UTC
 - Bump to 0.6.10

Package approved.

Comment 4 Ben Beasley 2021-03-15 20:58:19 UTC
Thanks for the review.

I have filed the releng ticket for unretirement (https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10060) and will promptly update to the new 0.6.10 release after importing to dist-git.

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2021-03-16 01:11:30 UTC
Side note:

If you use:

%generate_buildrequires
%pyproject_buildrequires -t

You don't need to use:

BuildRequires:  python3dist(setuptools)

If you do need to use that, something is broken.

Comment 6 Ben Beasley 2021-03-16 12:48:07 UTC
Thanks, Miro. You’re right. I have dropped the setuptools BR here, and I will do so in a number of other packages that use %pyproject_buildrequires.

Comment 7 Ben Beasley 2021-03-16 18:25:54 UTC
Additionally, I found both nose (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecateNose) and mock (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecatePythonMock) in the generated BR’s; I patched them out and made PR’s upstream.
