Description Jonathan Wright 2023-01-02 18:29:21 UTC 
Please branch and build python-nose in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain python-nose in epel9,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package;
please add the epel-packagers-sig group through
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-nose/addgroup
and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

I would also be happy to be a co-maintainer (FAS: jonathanspw).

I can be the primary contact for EPEL (FAS: jonathanspw).

The python-nose package is deprecated[1] because it is unmaintained upstream. It should not be branched into EPEL9. The linked wiki page has suggestions for working around a nose dependency.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2023-01-03 11:01:38 UTC 
Note that python-hglib has a custom nose plugin, so using nose2 or pytest might be non-trivial. Possible, but would require patching, since python-hglib itself is a long-dead project.
