Created attachment 1175670 [details] proposed spec patch The current version of apiextractor leads to a FTBS for shiboken. I was able to build shiboken on F24 with the new version.
Please note that I don't really know much about the inner workings of Shiboken / PySide / apiextractor / generatorrunner and I really don't have much time (I'm already neglecting my other Fedora packages). However I develop a PySide-based application as part of my $PAIDWORK on Fedora so I can justify spending a bit of time fixing simple issues where the patch is obvious or available elsewhere. So if you would accept me as a co-maintainer I could do the git pushing myself.
I decided that I should maintain my local patches for Python 3 compatibility in Fedora so it might benefit also other users. Therefore I requested commit access in the package DB (I am already sponsored) and I'd be glad if you could grant that request so I can push my changes (see my previous attachement 1175670).
Actually I found that shiboken 1.2.4 can be built (for Python 2) without the git revision of apiextractor. As I worked on this half a year ago I don't remember all the details anymore but the change might be required to build a Python 3 subpackage for shiboken. Unblocking bug 1308126 but marking as "blocks bug 1320653" so this is not forgotten.
Also I won't add a Python 3 package for shiboken in F24, just rawhide (and likely F25) so updating the version field here as well...
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
I believe this is actually not necessary for shiboken, so let's stay at the current stable release even though it is somehow "ancient". When switching to pyside2 (+ updated shiboken from their tree) we can always revisit this.
