Description Sandro Bonazzola 2021-09-07 06:48:03 UTC

mom requires python-nose, a test runner whose upstream
has been dead since 2015 (see https://nose.readthedocs.io).
Can the dependency be removed?

Some alternatives:
- python3-pytest can run most tests written for Nose
- the unittest module from the standard library might
  work for ligher testing (though tests for it are more verbose)
- nose's successor is nose2, but it never gained much traction

python-nose is not available anymore in CentOS Stream 9.
