Comment 2 Yuguang Wang 2014-06-10 05:38:48 UTC
Failed to create a Bodhi request and after checked fedora pkgdb [1],
it appears it's already built under fc21.

Hello yuwang,

Could you please fix this soon?

Comment 4 Yuguang Wang 2014-12-08 06:48:57 UTC
With the link in comment 1, I still failed to create the Bodhi request,
I'm getting error message as below:
"python-django-tinymce-1.5.2-2.fc21 not tagged as an update candidate"

Any idea how I can fix this? or is there any document I can refer to?
/me spent several hours on the packaging documentation but still
failed to proceed.

   Hello Yuguang,

(In reply to Yuguang Wang from comment #4)
> Any idea how I can fix this? or is there any document I can refer to?

Please see:
  -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO  

Usual sequence is:

  $ fedpkg clone <package-name>   # Very first time

begin:
  $ fedpkg pull                   # Before updating any files
  $ fedpkg new-sources <path/to/source-tar-file>
  $ update local .spec file to build new sources
  $ add .patch files if any
  $ fedpkg diff
  $ git add local updates
  $ fedpkg diff --cached          # Check updates before commit
  $ fedpkg commit -m <msg> -p
  $ fedpkg build                  # Will tag the build for Bodhi updates 

  $ fedpkg switch-branch <branch-name>

  $ goto begin

Hello yuwang,

You plan to fix this soon?

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:40:26 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 pjp 2015-06-01 11:13:02 UTC
Hello Yuguang

Could you please fix this soon? Is the python-django-tinymce version in latest F22 still affected by this issue? If so, we need to move this bug to F22; Or else, close this with cantfix/wontfix or EOL.

Comment 10 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:41:16 UTC
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.)

Comment 11 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-04-04 20:27:30 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 12 Kevin Fenzi 2016-09-04 00:12:36 UTC
I don't see any fix upstream, do you know if this is actually fixed upstream and if so, in what version... ?

Comment 13 Matthias Runge 2016-09-05 06:37:11 UTC
would it be accurate to state, this package is not maintained? I mean, nobody really looked into fixing this issue?

Current version in fedora is 1.5.2, upstream is 2.3.0; tinymce is bundled; the package should be using the distro provided version. I would expect nothing is using the package, and we should just retire the package, no?

Well, it's bounced around (see the change of maintainers comments above). 

I did look at this this weekend, and I couldn't find a specific comment where this issue was actually fixed. I might have missed it...

I got this package via need to keep ask.fedoraproject.org alive, but we need to figure out some better long term plan there (it's using epel6 versions of things now). I am definitely fine with retiring this in all branches but epel6 now.

Comment 15 Matthias Runge 2016-09-07 06:58:22 UTC
Askbot in its development version apparently only supports Django 1.8 and earlier. Latest released version does not mention 1.8 at all.

1.8 is LTS supported, but requires python 2.7. That also means, askbot doesn't work in fedora 24+ 
Current supported Django versions are 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10. All other versions are unsupported and unmaintained.

Comment 16 Kevin Fenzi 2016-09-07 16:07:24 UTC
Right. Currently we have askbot on rhel6 using ancient django. 

Likely the plan would be to get 1.8 into epel7 and move to that, however, perhaps we should discuss this on the infrastructure list or something, this seems a bad place to discuss things.

Comment 18 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 12:47:40 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
