Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime. Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2 To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for pkpgcounter's future. Specifically: - What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build system or test runner?) [remove if clear] - What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3? - What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is someone who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know anything about the particular package, what are the next steps to take?) This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context specific to pkpgcounter. If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here. Thank you.
Hi Lumir, I actually wanted to abandon pkpgcounter in the past but forgot about it https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/7QY4NNMDY54ZRCWV4GDUONYTKZFLA24U/ . AFAIK nobody requires it and it seems not worthy of porting effort - the last change in upstream is from 2007... So I would remove it from Fedora. Is it acceptable? Will removal be automatic when Python 2 will go away or should I issue removal by myself?
Please, retire the package. It saves us some work and you won't read notification emails anymore.
Removed by 'fedpkg retire DESCRIPTION', now waiting to be blocked in koji.

pkpgcounter is now blocked, so it should not be available no more.
