Some direct findings: - For Fedora %license should be used for the license - The new homepage for the package is http://pymssql.org/ - There is no information about the Patch status in the spec, is it submitted upstream or does it not need to? - There are newer releases at: https://github.com/pymssql/pymssql/releases - At least the newest release seems to support python3, therefore the python3 modules should be built at least for Fedora - The latest changelog is missing a version - iirc the unversioned %python macro should not be used anymore and the pkg should depend on python2-devel if it will stay python2-only
It seems this is already packaged. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pymssql
