Description Wolfgang Ulbrich 2022-06-26 09:57:19 UTC

Please branch and build dbus-python in epel8.

I am fedora MATE Desktop Maintainer and i plan to build the whole Mate stack for epel8. Dbus-python is one dependency which i need to build pluma-plugins.

If you do not wish to maintain dbus-python in epel8,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
I would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package (FAS raveit65);
please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dbus-python/adduser

Thank you

dbus-python is already in RHEL (at least in 6, 7, 8 and 9).

Comment 2 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2022-06-26 11:30:14 UTC

Are you sure?
I tested it yesterday on rocky linux 8 and it wasn't there. I had to rebuild it in a local repo.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2022-06-26 11:55:37 UTC

Ok, sadly redhat ships only  python3-dbus (via @baseos).
But i need dbus-python-devel for building another package.
Please rethink your decision.

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2022-06-26 11:59:16 UTC

I fear this is https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-policy-missing-sub-packages/, which means dbus-python-epel would be required as short-term solution until (if!) Red Hat decides to ship dbus-python-devel via CRB (long-term solution). Is my assumption correct?

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2022-06-26 22:16:42 UTC

The build-time dependency from pluma-plugins to dbus-python-devel might be an upstream mistake, please bear with us while we are following up this (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pluma-plugins/pull-request/1).

Comment 6 Robert Scheck 2022-06-30 22:19:11 UTC

Given dbus-python-devel is (fortunately) not required by pluma-plugins (just python3-dbus), I'm going to close this.
