Description of problem: gtg fails to install on Fedora 28 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtg-0.3.1-16.fc28.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: sudo dnf install gtg Actual results: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python-liblarch_gtk needed by gtg-0.3.1-16.fc28.noarch Expected results: gtg gets installed correctly Additional info: There is a python3-liblarch_gtk package available in the repository, though I don't know whether it's the correct package, or gtg still expects the python2 version of that package, which is not included in the repository.

Description of the problem: gtg (Getting Things GNOME!) fails to install on Fedora 28 Version-Release number: gtg-0.3.1-16.fc28.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: sudo dnf install gtg Actual results: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python-liblarch_gtk needed by gtg-0.3.1-16.fc28.noarch Expected results: gtg gets installed correctly Additional info: I've installed python3-liblarch_gtk-3.0-2.fc28.noarch but it doesn't find it. Seems like gtg expects the python2 version. I have gtg installed on another laptop with F28 (upgraded from F27), and it still uses python-liblarch-2.1.0-20.fc27.noarch from de F27 repo. A (bad) workaround is to enable F27 repos to get that package and allow the gtg installation.
Hi there, Thanks for the bug reports. Unfortunately, neither python-liblarch, nor gtg have seen commits since 2015 so it's safe to say that upstream is inactive. We will not see any updates, bugfixes, nor enhancements to these software. https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/liblarch https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg So, I'm going to retire them both. Please use another tool that is actively maintained. This fedora magazine post features a few alternatives. I'm sorry gtg featured there too, we'll be more careful about it in the future: https://fedoramagazine.org/5-tools-to-manage-your-to-do-list-on-fedora/ Cheers, Ankur
Both pacakges have been retired. I'm leaving this issue open so that others that may run into the issue can be informed.
*** Bug 1638859 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '28'. 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 28 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.
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 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.
Please note that upstream is active again and on the verge of being able to release the new Python3-based version (within a few weeks), so you might be interested in getting ready to be able to repackage it in Fedora when it comes out: https://fortintam.com/blog/2020-06-gtg-status-update/
The new Python3-based stable release is now available: https://fortintam.com/blog/gtg-0-4-released/ Please package it, along with LibLarch 3.0.1. Both are available on https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/ I would have filed a new bug report about this, but I can't as the "gtg" component is not active on this Bugzilla instance.
The package has been orphaned, so there is no maintainer. This bug refers to an issue when the package did exist in Fedora. So, it's not the right place to discuss this. Please refer to the un-retirement process to re-add the package to Fedora. (I have moved on to other tools and so do not intend to either package or maintain gtg): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Claiming_Ownership_of_a_Retired_Package
