Description of problem: %python3_pkgversion macro is not recognized on F23/F24 (on koji builds). See http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=10525890&name=root.log&offset=-4000 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python3-pkgversion-macros-1-3.el7 python3-pkgversion-macros-1-3.fc23
Has python3-pkgversion-macros not been added to the Fedora buildroots?
It wasn't. As far as I know it is needed to have packaging guidelines for EPEL approved by FPC first. There is some discussion at the end of the 2015/08/27 fpc meeting: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2015-08-27/fpc.2015-08-27-16.05.log.html/
To expand on that: Fedora relengs were not comfortable with adding a new package to buildroot at all, especially not when the guidelines were not yet approved by FESCO at that point.
so how do i use the %python3_pkgversion macro for builds that go to Fedora and EPEL? If i use: BuildRequires: python%{python3_pkgversion}-devel it works on EPEL7 but on Fedora 24 I get: Error: No Package found for python%{python3_pkgversion}-devel I tried to include: BuildRequires: python3-pkgversion-macros with no success.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
