Description Miro Hrončok 2019-06-23 21:18:46 UTC
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 install salt
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides python2-tornado >= 4.2.1 needed by salt-2019.2.0-1.fc31.noarch
  - nothing provides python2-tornado < 6.0 needed by salt-2019.2.0-1.fc31.noarch


python2-tornado was removed as discussed in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ZXXOWINEGTILQRKCYZS43L6E4Y6EV5LI/

Please switch to Python 3 or retire salt from Fedora 31+.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-01 08:13:52 UTC
In preparation for the Python 2 EOL, we are removing all non-installable Python 2 packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro

This bug is still in the NEW state and the package does not install. Please indicate you are working on a fix by setting the state to ASSIGNED. When this bug is four weeks in the NEW state, the package may be orphaned.

Note that you don't have to actually fix this right now, setting the bug to ASSIGNED will just mark this as being worked on, so I'll know it is being taken care of. If this happens too quickly, feel free to reach to me any time for help (with specific problems).

(If you know for sure this package shall be removed, consider doing it.)

Thank You!

It is hoped with the Neon Release (currently scheduled for some time this Fall) that Salt will have been able to move past the issues with Tornado v5 and greater on Python 3, and thus provide a Python 3 Only version of Salt which can run on Fedora.  At present, there are only a couple of corner cases remaining in testing, and perhaps a Release Candidate version of Salt can be provided to RawHide, probably a month from now.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-01 18:52:38 UTC
Changing to ASSIGNED then, not to bother you with more needinfos.

A Release Candidate version of Salt is definitively better than non-installable but stable version.

Hey David, just to check up on that a month later, any news on the RC?

Comment 5 David Murphy 2019-08-05 23:45:50 UTC
Unfortunately no news, SaltStack is going through a tightening of tests and code submitted to make the code more reliable and better tested.  This has pushed back release schedules, and originally Neon (next major release) should have been available by start of August but it is delayed and no RC yet that I can talk of. At present Neon will be shipped with support for Tornado >= v5.x, hence has soon as a RC is tagged, I shall be making it available to RawHide.  Currently Neon is looking good, but the next minion point release Salt 2019.2.1 is just about finished QA and it has to be released first.

Comment 6 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2019-08-06 08:46:09 UTC
Is Neon is looking good for Fedora 31? The beta freeze will be 2019-08-29, 3 weeks from now.

If we need to bring python2-tornado back, it's better to start early. As we wait, its own dependencies are possibly being removed.

Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-06 08:51:51 UTC
> If we need to bring python2-tornado back

I'd rather remove salt if it is not Python 3 ready by the freeze.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to '31'.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro

"Packages still failing to install due to a missing Python 2 dependency will be retired at Beta Freeze, assuming they have a Bugzilla bug open for at least 2 weeks. The package maintainer may postpone this retirement to the Final Freeze by promising to fix it until then."

Let me know if this package shall not be retired yet. The beta freeze is at 2019-08-29, the final freeze is at 2019-10-08.

Comment 11 David Murphy 2019-08-22 15:40:35 UTC
SaltStack is planning on moving to fully Python 3 in Fedora, just having an issue with supporting Tornado v5.x with Python 3, however it is planned to have the issue with Tornado v5.x resolved in Salt's Neon release which will be before the end of the year, if not sooner.

At present there are a few corner cases in testing remaining to be resolved in support with Tornado v5.x in the Neon release. Once those are resolved, then Neon will be released, that is, Tornado v5.x support on Python 3 with Salt is critical for the Neon release and once resolved Neon will be released.

Have Salt working on Py 3.7 (Amazon Linux 2 build in next point release Salt 2019.2.1) but still an issue with Tornado v5.x. Salt is hoping to have the issue fixed before the final freeze for F31, at least a Release Candidate, which will be applied to Rawhide ASAP when Salt has the final corner cases passing testing.

Comment 12 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-22 15:50:35 UTC
For clarity: Fedora 31 is scheduled to be released in October: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/31/Schedule - the final freeze is at 2019-10-08.


Note that a semi broken corner cases package is still better than a noninstallable package. Please consider packaging a git snapshot now.

Comment 13 David Murphy 2019-08-22 16:31:50 UTC
Will bring this up, and see if it is possible to get a functioning snapshot of Salt (Neon) provided, if possible it will be next week or after Labor Day (have to work around scheduled vacation etc.)
