+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2246219 +++

Please branch and build python-vobject in epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain python-vobject 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-vobject/addgroup
and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

I would also be happy to be a co-maintainer (FAS: salimma);
please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-vobject/adduser

I believe @pingou wouldn't mind and I have added commit rights to the SIG.

Comment 1 Peter Bieringer 2023-10-29 05:34:53 UTC 
forgot to mention, in case able to build, the python38 variant would be required by "radicale".
Comment 2 Michel Lind 2023-11-02 18:36:18 UTC 
It is possible, but I'm personally not keen on adding to EPEL 8 (it will go EOL next May) https://endoflife.date/rhel

Would you like to do it yourself? Easiest to use this guideline and start a new python38-vobject package: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Python3X
Comment 3 Peter Bieringer 2023-11-12 07:17:22 UTC 
Currently in "radicale" vobject is bundled in RPM into USER_SITE and working well. If nobody else requires such RPM, no need to spend more efforts.

BTW: I would consider EPEL 8 earliest May 2029 EOL when EL 8 reaches ELS (as even for EPEL 7 packages can be still updated while EL 7 has reached maintenance support already).
