Comment 1 Jerry James 2024-08-20 22:37:24 UTC

There is already a python3-cmake package.  It is a subpackage of cmake itself: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/cmake/python3-cmake/

Comment 2 Cristian Le 2024-08-21 13:47:42 UTC

Yeah, things are veerry complicated about how to handle the packaging of python-cmake. See some of the discussions in [1-3]. Overall the consensus seems to be that `python3-cmake` should in fact be removed. There's also some uncertainty of how PEP725 will evolve which would interact with this.

This review is more on, if we need the python files from upstream, here is an approach that does not interfere with CMake's packaging, if they would want to not maintain the python patching.

Comment 3 Package Review 2025-08-22 00:45:23 UTC

This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.
