Why I am assigned?

Comment 2 Troy Dawson 2023-09-11 13:25:34 UTC

It's probably because you built the epel8 version of nautilus-python.
I built the epel9 version, for kde (kde-connect).  So I'll take it.

Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2023-09-11 13:37:54 UTC

Thanks, Troy!

Comment 4 Michel Lind 2024-09-04 18:24:36 UTC

We'll try and get this fixed at least for EPEL 9 - since that will unblock packages like nextcloud-client-nautilus and tilix

I'll try and do the same too for EPEL 8 but no promises

If we don't get it done by the end of the month we'll retire the broken packages rather than keeping them broken.

As discussed in the EPEL meeting today for https://pagure.io/epel/issue/294

Comment 5 Michel Lind 2024-09-27 19:47:41 UTC

I just tested on a CentOS Stream 9 system, and nextcloud-client-nautilus (which uses nautilus-python) works fine - my synced folder shows sync status for the folder and files within.

So this does not look completely broken, at the very least.
