Description Karolina Surma 2023-10-18 12:52:16 UTC

This is an early notice about Python 3.13 which will be the main Python
in Fedora 41+ (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.13).

We detected that gnu-free-fonts build requires /usr/bin/2to3 which will be removed from Python 3.13.

Python-maint has already started testing Fedora packages with Python 3.13 alphas.
We'll appreciate unblocking gnu-free-fonts as soon as possible to enable smooth integration.

Possible solutions to this issue:
- (preferred) port your package to Python 3 upstream
- patch the source code of the package using 2to3 and add the patch to dist git
2to3 is still present in Fedora 37, 38, 39, 40.



Reproducible: Always
