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that are no longer maintained.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.

Latest upstream release: 2.3.1 Current version/release in rawhide: 2.0.1-1.fc30 URL: http://buildbot.net/ Please consult the package updates policy before you issue an update to a stable branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy More information about the service that created this bug can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoringPlease keep in mind that with any upstream change, there may also be packaging changes that need to be made. Specifically, please remember that it is your responsibility to review the new version to ensure that the licensing is still correct and that no non-free or legally problematic items have been added upstream.Based on the information from anitya: https://release-monitoring.org/project/228/

Reopening because I'm still facing the problem with "buildbot try":

builtins.TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Created attachment 1582364 [details]
Proposed fix

This patch fixes the problem for me.  It is a mix of the patch proposed here:

https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/4765

With:

-        for l in remotes.split("\n"):
+        for l in str (remotes).split("\n"):

Using this patch, I am now able to submit try builds normally.

This issue is now fixed upstream:

https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/commit/5747da2163dcae7582921342ce53030283b6c159

FWIW str() will create a string from a bytes object, but it's an oddity and best avoided:

bash$ python3
>>> str(b"hello", "utf8")
'hello'
>>> str(b"hello")
"b'hello'"

You could read https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str for the full gory details, or you could just use decode which isn't weird like str:

>>> b"hello".decode()
'hello'
>>> b"hello".decode("utf-8")
'hello'

buildbot-2.4.0-1.fc30 has been released, which should fix this issue.  I'm closing it.
