Created attachment 1305083 [details] spec file for python-xlrd 1.0.0 & EL 6 & EL7 Description of problem: A newer version of python-xlrd is available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed: 0.9.4-5.fc26 Available: 1.0.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install python3/2-xlrd 2. dnf info python3-xlrd|grep version Actual results: Version : 0.9.4 Expected results: Version : 1.0.0 Additional info: I have updated the spec file to version 1.0.0 and also changed the macros to enable builds for EL6 & EL7. The updated spec file is attached. I have also tested the new version on copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/defolos/devel/build/583876/. Hope this helps.
Is this version compatible with current el6 version 0.6.x)? Can I release it for el6 too, or only for Fedora and EPEL7?
Sorry, I don't know that. I don't personally use xlrd, I just packaged the most recent version to use it with odoo on CentOS 7. I have glanced over the history file and it does not mention any breaking changes. However, the git log between 1.0.0 and 0.6 is really huge, so I am unsure whether they are actually compatible. I can try to ask the maintainers, maybe they'll know.
Version 1.0.0 has been built for Fedora 27 and EPEL7. Asking author, if I can release update for other systems.

I will note that xlrd, like the xls format, is also somewhat end of life. If you have a specific read to need .xls files (rather than .xlsx), then xlrd is still there, but I'd generally recommend people use openpyxl instead now. cheers, Chris ---------------------------------------------------- Pushing python-xlrd-1.0.0 for Fedora 26 and 25 too. Not planned to release is for EL6, only if somebody really needs it.
