Description Jonathan Wright 2025-07-16 11:18:55 UTC

Please branch and build python-netifaces in epel10.0.

If you do not wish to maintain python-netifaces in epel10.0,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
I would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package (FAS: jonathanspw);
please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-netifaces/adduser

Comment 1 Rafael Jeffman 2025-07-22 14:05:45 UTC

@jonathan the upstream project for python-netifaces has been archived and is unmaintained since June 2021.

We can branch in for epel10.0, but I wonder if this is the best move, or should we simply point users to still maintained alternatives, like python-ifaddr.

Let me know if python-ifaddr (or any alternative) works for you, or if we should continue with the build for epel.

Comment 2 Rafael Jeffman 2025-09-26 19:04:38 UTC

python-netifaces will not be maintained in the future in Fedora, as it is not maintained in upstream anymore.

I strongly suggest you migrate to pyhton-ifaddr.

Comment 3 Rafael Jeffman 2025-11-24 20:57:33 UTC

As there has been no response, and as python-netifaces is not maintained in upstream anymore, I'm closing this issue.

If you believe there is another approach that should be done, please reopen with the proper reasons.
