python-qrcode in fedora is super out of date. The latest version is 4.0.1. see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/qrcode
Created attachment 816387 [details] updated spec file for version 4.0.1
I'd like to see it updated in 18, 19, and rawhide not just 18 :) Attached is an updated spec file. The new version optional depends on a new pure python imaging package (to replace the dependency on PIL), but this package isn't yet in Fedora. The package works fine, but we need to exclude the pure imaging tests from running, which I added to %check.
5.0.1 is out now, with good fixes and speedups. It supports Python 3 so having a python3-qrcode package too would be nice. The dependencies are python3-six and python3-pillow. Note that older versions including the 2.4.1 in fedora have some nasty correctness bugs; the generated codes only work as well as they do because of error correction.
I would really like to have an updated release of python-qrcode and I'm willling to help maintaing the package.
It seems to be done [1] and is now in testing. [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-10811/389-ds-base-1.3.3.3-1.fc21,python-qrcode-5.0.1-2.fc21,freeipa-4.0.3-1.fc21
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
The latest release is 5.1. P.S. I will can offer support with maintaining this package.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)
