willie: requirement of ssl_match_hostname is no longer needed since Python 2.7.9 ===== Description of problem ===== Python 3.4's entire ssl module was backported to 2.7.9 [1]. Willie already has sanity checks to import match_hostname and CertificateError from the standard library ssl module if they are available [2][3]. Effectively, the rpm has a dependency that isn't being used. Because of that, I believe that this line should be removed from the willie spec file. -Requires: python-backports-ssl_match_hostname ===== Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable) ===== willie-4.5.0-1.fc22.noarch ===== Actual results ===== The RPM has an unnecessary dependency. ===== Expected results ===== The RPM only depends on things it actually needs. ===== Additional info ===== [1] https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-279/ [2] https://github.com/embolalia/willie/blob/4.5.0/willie/irc.py#L29-L41 [3] https://github.com/embolalia/willie/blob/4.5.0/willie/web.py#L33-L40

Can I get feedback on this request?
This package lacks an overhaul, I will do this later.
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 Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
This is still a problem as of F23. This is an easy fix that is blocking the retirement of python-backports-ssl_match_hostname (#1229409).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '23'. 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 23 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.
This package was orphaned in F23 and retired after that.
