Description

I filed https://github.com/nschloe/meshio/issues/1558 asking upstream to comment on the maintenance status of meshio, and I filed https://github.com/mikedh/trimesh/issues/2533 to raise awareness with trimesh, the sole reverse dependency in Fedora. I think that these test failures look too significant to ignore, and we should consider retiring the package for Fedora 45 ahead of Python 3.15 integration and patching the dependency out of python-trimesh’s “recommend” extra. We could wait a little while for a response on https://github.com/nschloe/meshio/issues/1558, but I think even an expression of intent to resume development would not remove the problem in the short/medium term, just give us hope that the package may be unretired again in the future. Correction: python-trimesh only uses meshio as a test dependency via the “test_more” extra. I’m removing this dependency now, making python-meshio a leaf package in F45/Rawhide. |
