Description Alyssa Coghlan 2024-09-02 14:42:04 UTC

While illustrating how Fedora integrated its multiple Python versions into its recommended dependency for tox, I noticed that python3.11 didn't get added after the system Python package was bumped up to Python 3.12:

$ sudo dnf repoquery --recommends tox 2>/dev/null
pypy2-devel
pypy3-devel
python2-devel
python2.7
python3-devel
python3.10
python3.6
python3.7
python3.8
python3.9




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Query the recommended requirements for the tox package
Actual Results:  
python3.11 is not listed

Expected Results:  
python3.11 should be listed

Adding the extra recommends to the tox package for the previous major version should be noted as a task in the Python major feature bump proposals like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.12

This missing recommendation hasn't been noticeable on system upgrades (presumably due to the requires/recommends cycle between python3.x and python3.x-libs keeping the former major version installed if it was previously installed)

Comment 1 Alyssa Coghlan 2024-09-02 22:10:58 UTC

Never mind, the problem was in my queries, not the RPM metadata; I didn't check the reverse supplements declarations (as per https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/NVVUXSVSPFQOWIGBE2JNI67HEO7R63ZQ/)

Sorry for the noise.

This is still a problem. But it isn't caused by missing Recommends, but generally by the way weak dependencies are handled by dnf :(
