Description of problem: I'm very new to python packaging, so i might mess this description up, so bear with me. The version of pyserial in fedora 20 includes a -py3k extra package tag which means that other python3 packags that simply require pyserial will not find the correct dependency (pyserial) This problem is fixed in this commit: http://sourceforge.net/p/pyserial/code/466/ Can pyserial in fedora 20 be bumped to a version that includes this fix? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python3-pyserial-2.6.7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. write a python 3 package with pyserial as a dependency 2. create an rpm depending on python3-pyserial (with console entry point) 3. build/install rpm 4 . run console script Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/htdataclient", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2793, in <module> working_set.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 673, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 576, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pyserial>=2.6
oh. i should mention that i discovered this by browsing site-packages and seeing pyserial_py3k-2.6-py3.3.egg-info
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
as far as i can tell, this doesn't seem to be fixed in Fedora 22 either.
ping?
This is interesting, because in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-3391 I submitted 2.7 which contains the fix.
i just pinged because the bug was still open. I had to roll my own rpm with the fix, so I haven't tested yours. If it's fixed in the fedora package, then you should close it. BTW: pyserial upstream has moved to github: https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial
2.7 did not contain some fixes for python 3.x you need at least r503 http://sourceforge.net/p/pyserial/code/503/, but I'd suggest updating to r507 (or 508) until 3.x is released
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 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.
